Step beyond the everyday and into a living story.
Legends in the Making is an immersive cosplay retreat at Ancient Lore Village, created for dreamers, makers, and adventurers who long to bring their characters to life. Set within the enchanted Village just outside Knoxville, Tennessee, this fantasy retreat blends movement, creativity, storytelling, and celebration into one unforgettable weekend.
Whether guests are new to cosplay or refining a beloved persona, this retreat invites participants to train like their character, create with intention, and step fully into the world they imagine.
The experience unfolds like a story across two richly layered days. Guests are welcomed on Friday evening with a ceremonial opening and shared dinner, offering time to connect, settle in, and begin the journey together. Saturday features immersive cosplay workshops and character embodiment sessions guided by Charity Grace and her team from Whimsy Forge, followed by an evening festival where characters emerge and stories intertwine.
For overnight guests, the retreat concludes with a gentle farewell and an optional brunch on Sunday morning before departure.
