World’s Edge Fantasy Fayre

2027 dates coming soon…

Realms will align again in 2027

World’s Edge has now left our dimension and hurtled off into the void. But don’t worry, the realms are set to align again next year. We’re currently doing our calculations to work out when and where, so stay tuned!

The story behind World's Edge

What to expect next year

World’s Edge is an unusual village. It spins through space and time, picking up inhabitants as it goes. Walk into World’s Edge and you might encounter fae, mermaids, starfighters or people from the distant reaches of history.

It’s said that for just one weekend a year, it connects to our own world - this year it merged at the incredible medieval Cressing Temple Barns in Essex. On that weekend, the citizens of World’s Edge held a special market, shows and a party to welcome all in the spirit of imagination.
