Frequently Asked Questions
When and where is the Feast?
Saturday, October 3rd, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM at StarFord Shire Farms, Louisburg, Missouri.
What does my ticket include?
Admission, a full meal, live music, dancing, fireworks, and Shire-like activities throughout the evening.
What will be on the menu for the Feast?
Middle-earth inspired dishes and desserts, with ingredients grown on Starford Shire or sourced directly from local farms. Because of the nature of this feast, we unfortunately cannot accommodate individual dietary restrictions or requests. We will have some gluten-free food selections available, but please note our kitchen is not a certified gluten-free facility and cannot guarantee against cross-contact with allergens.
Is there a dress code?
Costumes are required for participation in this event so that the continuity of the experience can be maintained for all who are attending. Come dressed as any races friendly to the Fellowship: good wizards, man, dwarf, elf, halfling, ent, or similar. Costumes can be as simple or elaborate as you like. No orcs, goblins, Uruk-hai, Nazgûl, or other villainous characters. No exceptions.
Is this event family-friendly?
Yes. Guests ages 11 and up are considered adult admission. Children ages 3 to 10 receive the Young Fellowship ticket price and enjoy the same full meal as everyone else, and children under 3 are welcome at no charge. This is also a working farm, so children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
What are the event policies I should know?
No alcohol is permitted or sold on site. Outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome, just no glass bottles or containers. No firearms or firearm replicas. Costume swords are welcome but must stay sheathed and peace-bonded at all times, no drawn blades, including for staged combat. Pets are not permitted; service animals are welcome under the ADA and must remain leashed, since this is a working farm with animals of its own. The grounds are natural farmland with uneven terrain, so guests attend and walk at their own risk.
What happens if it rains?
Feast of the Fellowship is a rain-or-shine event. Please dress for the forecast. In the rare case that severe weather requires a delay or change to activities, we will email registered ticket holders with updates. Tickets are non-refundable due to weather.
Is the farm accessible for guests with mobility needs?
StarFord Shire Farms has natural grass and dirt pathways, which may be uneven in places. If you have mobility needs or questions about accessibility, please email us in advance at starfordshireevents@gmail.com so we can help plan your visit.
Will I be photographed or filmed at the event?

By attending, you agree that Starford Shire Events, LLC may use these images and recordings to promote this and future events, including on our website, email, and social media.
