Virago Alley

Virago Alley is the presenting non profit of The Richmond Ren Faire coming Spring 2026 and will be at the Richmond Tattoo Convention, providing live steel combat demonstrations and a display of historical martial arts and artisan tools.
Virago Alley’s mission is to provide an accessible and inclusive platform for the exploration, education, and preservation of historical martial arts and artisan trades.
Virago Alley was formed to spearhead not only programmatic platforms for historic martial arts and artisans like Warriors in Bloom and The Richmond Ren Faire, but to develop a physical brick & mortar community center that will provide a combat training facility, indoor archery range & dedicated workshop space representing various historical trades & crafts. This space will take our fight from backyards, garages, public parks & tennis courts to an accessible facility armed with tools & mediums to forge, play & create.

Warriors in Bloom and The Richmond Renaissance Faire serve as larger fundraising initiatives in an effort to bring this community center to life so that these skills & techniques can be celebrated, preserved & practiced year round.
