Attending Fantasy Fayre 2025: The Bestiary was a dream come true—an enchanting day filled with adventure, fantasy, and incredible experiences that felt like stepping straight into a storybook. But what made this event even more magical was experiencing it with my love, hand in hand, both of us dressed in our finest fantasy attire.
Thank you, Arigato & Gracias to Alter Egos.
A Fairytale Come to Life
Seeing my girlfriend in full costume as Mrs. Beast to my Beast was a moment I will never forget. She was a vision—graceful, mesmerizing, and truly a beauty beyond compare. Attending this event with her was one of my biggest fantasies come to life, and I fell even more in love with her that day. The effort she made to dress up with me, to step into this world of fantasy, meant everything.
The Adventures and Activities
The day was packed with thrilling activities that made the experience unforgettable.
🔥 Fire Dancing Workshop – Signing up early for the fire dancing workshop was an exhilarating decision. The instructor was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, guiding me through the techniques. And when I finally got to hold actual fire and spin it around—it was a rush like no other! It felt powerful, almost like wielding magic. Shout out to Hybrid Performing Arts for the experience.
🏹 Archery – Ah, archery. One of those skills you think will come naturally… until you actually try it. I managed to get only one arrow on target, and even then, it wasn’t close to where I was aiming. But then came my elegant, elven goddess of a girlfriend. She was perfection itself, effortlessly notching arrows and hitting her mark every time. She even embedded one in the wooden stand! It was a breathtaking sight to behold—I am still in awe.
🎶 The Enchanting Satyr – One of the most surreal moments of the fayre was meeting a pan flute-playing Satyr named Hazard Goat. His music was straight out of an RPG or medieval fantasy movie, filling the air with an ethereal sound that transported me to another realm. It was pure tranquility, a moment of peace amidst the excitement.
⚔️ LARP Combat with Esprit de Combat – Towards the end of the day, I finally got to fight as a true warrior! LARP combat with the sports team Esprit de Combat was everything I had imagined. The highlight? Pulling off Achilles’ iconic jump-lunge from Troy! It was a dream moment, and thanks to my incredible photographer Alexis Callea, I now have the most badass action shot to date! LARPing is such an amazing experience, and I have mad respect for these fighters. This is something I definitely want to train more in and become a better warrior.
A Special Shoutout to Slayer Energy Drink 🐉⚡
One of the most exciting stalls was the Slayer Energy Drink stand, where they were giving tasters of their upcoming new flavor, Alien Invasion. It was an awesome experience getting a sneak peek at what’s to come while also stocking up on their energy-packed drinks. If you missed them at Fantasy Fayre, don’t worry—you can catch them at the upcoming Alter Egos events this year!
Dressing the Part – A Grand Thank You to Sinderella Costume Hire
No fantasy experience is complete without the perfect costume, and this is where Sinderella Costume Hire made all the difference. Their Edenvale store is an absolute treasure trove of medieval, fantasy, and bestiary-themed costumes, and their staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our looks. They searched tirelessly for the perfect outfits, and their dedication showed in every detail. The service was outstanding—not just for us but for many of our friends who visited the store and shared their own incredible experiences.
Walking into Fantasy Fayre in full costume was an experience like no other. The number of compliments we received, the countless queries about where we got our outfits, and even entering the Best Dressed competition—every moment was made even more special thanks to Sinderella. Being able to stand on stage and announce to everyone that our outfits came from Sinderella was an honor. They truly helped bring our fantasy to life, and I cannot recommend them enough for anyone attending future events!
Looking Ahead to More Adventures
Fantasy Fayre 2025 was nothing short of magical, and I am beyond grateful to Alter Egos for this incredible opportunity. From the immersive atmosphere to the breathtaking costumes and thrilling activities, it was a day I will never forget.
