Hands-On Heritage at Kings Landing: Visiting Cousins Reunion Bracelet Access

Q: Is the site wheelchair accessible?

Some areas are accessible, but many workshops take place several metres from the entrance and are not air-conditioned—contact staff in advance to discuss specific accessibility needs.

On September 12, 2026, Kings Landing’s Visiting Cousins & Family Kin Reunion turns the historic village in Prince William, New Brunswick into a hands-on celebration of craft, food, and community. Buy the Reunion Bracelet to unlock a picnic lunch on the lawn, a choice of a heritage workshop—spinning, quilting, or woodcarving—canapé hour with soft drinks and a cash bar, and weather-permitting wagon rides. The bracelet requires General Admission for the day and proceeds support the Kings Landing Foundation’s Learning Centre upgrades and the Visiting Cousins Bursary Program, so your visit carries both pleasure and purpose. The site is a working historic village of 19th-century buildings, craft spaces, and open grass where families gather. Key scene features include the workshop shacks where instructors teach traditional fiber and woodworking techniques, the picnic lawn with lemonade and strawberry shortcake, and the wagon route that takes guests on a gentle spin through the village grounds. These heritage structures sit amid New Brunswick’s mixed broadleaf forest and agricultural fields—an approachable landscape that frames the living-history experience and makes it especially accessible to a wide range of visitors. Workshops are hands-on and limited; spots are assigned at check-in on a first-come basis, so early arrival matters. The reunion blends practical skill-sharing—learn to draft a quilting block, draft fiber on a drop spindle, or carve a simple spoon—with social time. Expect a relaxed pace: lawn games for kids, a canapé hour that eases into evening conversation, and picnic fare that keeps families in mind. Families and multigenerational groups will appreciate that the event welcomes ages nine and up, with offerings designed to suit both novice hobbyists and visitors who want a deeper look at traditional crafts. Check in at the Kings Landing Welcome Centre on arrival; staff will confirm your bracelet and workshop allocation and can advise on accessibility concerns. Note that many activities take place several metres from the entrance and are not air-conditioned. Practical tips: this is a ticketed special event with limited capacity—book early via the provided referral link. Bring weather-appropriate clothing and a modest blanket or folding chair for the lawn. If you qualify for free admission (season pass, military, Indigenous), identify that during the booking process. Whether you’re reconnecting with family or celebrating cultural roots, the Visiting Cousins reunion is less a performance and more an invitation to roll up your sleeves, taste local hospitality, and take home a skill and a story. Accessibility requests can be made in advance; staff accommodate mobility needs when possible, and family-friendly restroom facilities are nearby — bring sunscreen and bug spray for a comfortable afternoon outdoors. Workshops vary by skill level; children under supervision enjoy simple projects while adults can tackle tougher patterns and techniques.
