Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Guide
A Royal Feast and Epic Battles: Medieval Times Myrtle Beach Guide
Step back in time to the age of chivalry at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Myrtle Beach! This immersive dinner show transports you to an 11th-century castle where you'll witness a thrilling jousting tournament, falconry displays, and horsemanship demonstrations, all while feasting on a delicious medieval-style meal. It's an unforgettable experience for families and anyone looking for a unique and entertaining evening. While the Myrtle Beach location is a modern entertainment venue, the Medieval Times concept draws heavily on historical traditions and imagery. The show is loosely based on the reign of a fictional king and the tournaments that were common in medieval Europe. These tournaments were not just for sport; they were a way for knights to display their skills and prowess, and for the king to assess the strength of his realm. The costumes, weapons, and horsemanship techniques are all inspired by historical sources, creating an authentic and engaging atmosphere. The main activity at Medieval Times is, of course, the dinner and tournament. Guests are seated in an arena and assigned to a knight representing a specific region of Spain. As you enjoy a four-course meal (eaten without utensils, in true medieval fashion!), you'll cheer on your knight as he competes in various challenges, including jousting, sword fights, and horsemanship displays. The show also features stunning falconry demonstrations and beautiful Andalusian horses. The menu typically includes roasted chicken, ribs, garlic bread, and a non-alcoholic beverage. Vegetarian options are usually available upon request.
