Do the people in Reniassance festivals occurring in Britain also speak with faked British accents, or do they use faked French/Italian accents instead?

I'd imagine they fake an American accent. Maybe Burbank, CA?

Whoa, is that the Ren Fest in Larkspur? I spent many summer days there when I lived in Colorado.

Or is there a standardized fake castle gate you can order premade?

I thought this looked like Bristol in Wisconsin. I can say it's definitely NOT Phoenix...there's actual trees in this pic. 🤣

This looks exactly like the one we're about to attend soon in North Carolina. I'm pretty sure there actually is just a prefab castle wall company that's cranking these out.

That is Larkspur. I'm from Denver, and recognized it immediately (also I image searched Larkspur ren faire to double check I wasn't misremembering what it looks like). I'm sure other ren-faires have similar things, but that castle facade has been there since at least the 1980s, and I kind of doubt that was something you could get pre-fabricated back then.
