While the Brandywine Festival is designed primarily for adults, we warmly welcome families who wish to share in the joy, community, and imagination of the Shire together. The Junior Ticket allows younger participants to join their parent or guardian in experiencing the world of Middle-earth — living, camping, and celebrating side-by-side.

Important Information:

All minors must be accompanied and attended by a parent or legal guardian at all times.
- No exceptions will be made to this rule for any reason.
- Parents and guardians are fully responsible for the supervision, conduct, and safety of their minors throughout the duration of the event.
The Brandywine Festival is a participant-driven, immersive experience focused on storytelling, camping, and community.
- No dedicated childcare or children’s activities are provided.
- All programming, workshops, and performances are designed for an 18+ audience, though family-friendly participation is welcome in shared spaces.

Please Note:

The event takes place outdoors and is a primitive camping environment — all attendees, including families, must come prepared with proper gear, shelter, and supplies.
The festival site can include uneven terrain, campfires, and long hours; please use your best judgment in determining if this experience is right for your child.
Tickets for minors must be purchased in conjunction with an adult Ticket.
The event allows and welcomes the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Minors will be required to wear a designated wrist band at all times.
Parents must provide copy of the minor's birth certificate and photo ID upon arrival during Check-In.
Please note that RP scenes are not designed for minors involvement. Please be aware of your minor's participation to reduce disruptions to fellow participants.

The Brandywine Festival is, above all, a place of community — where families and friends can share in the stories, songs, and laughter of the Shire. We look forward to welcoming you and your young adventurers to Middle-earth.
