A weekend of halfling themed fun awaits!

Think of it as a Renaissance Faire or party where you’ll play pretend and dress up as a short, charming, comfort loving, food obsessed halfling. You’ll step into a rustic village to make friends, play games, dance, and share stories by the fire. It’s all about celebrating the simple joys of life, halfling-style! At its heart, this event is about community, cozy experiences, and friendship. There are no hit points or “win conditions”, and the drama at the event is low-stakes and low-key. We’re just a bunch of silly halflings who appreciate (and annoy) each other.

Tickets start at $160 and go up to $298 for our deluxe cabin bunks. Admission covers a weekend of fully catered, halfling fun, including workshops, games, performances, way too many snacks, and a even a second breakfast or two!

The Premise

In an idyllic realm, hidden from the rest of the world, five halfling families gather for a seasonal celebration. At Shirefolk, families will rekindle their connections, and try to show-off and out-do each other! Whatever happens will be the talk of the Shire for months. Our fashion is likewise borrowed from 18th century British and Dutch working class outfits and the cottage-core movement. 

Shirefolk owes everything  to Desany Phanoraj. She dreamed up a cozy, community driven space where everyone’s equal, the stakes are low, and the fun is through the roof!

Here, we are all equally small, and there’s something beautiful about that.

There's a lot to do...
But Showcases are special!

Show off your food, crafts, or creations in playful county fair-style contests! Judges hand out ribbons for standout entries, and a Planner helps organize the fun (including the weeks leading up to the event).

Each showcase has a Planner, a player who organizes the event and helps people present their entries. If you’re interested in being a planner, reach out to the game staff in advance! Many showcases have a few Judges, usually 1-2 per family, selected by the Planner during the game. Each judge chooses a favorite showcase entry and hands out a special ribbon as an award.

While there are ribbons awarded, it is important to note that this event is not a real competition. Each family judge may present a ribbon for different reasons. For example, a Higgleby may present a ribbon to the sneakiest of entries (eg. a cheesecake dessert that is cleverly disguised as sausages and mashed potato) while a Bluffwater judge may present a ribbon to the most complicated creation! Enter only what you feel your character would contribute to such an occasion.

We encourage you to select recipes with minimal prep requirements, as the campsite kitchen will be occupied with prep for larger meals. There are power outlets in each cabin, but we don’t have fridge space available for player use.
