Medieval Times
Medieval-themed dinner theater
Medieval Times is a family dinner theater featuring staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting, and jousting. The concept is based upon the idea of transporting guests back to the Middle Ages, providing an immersive experience that combines dining with entertainment.
History[edit | edit source]
The first Medieval Times location opened in Orlando, Florida in 1983. The concept was inspired by the medieval tournaments and feasts of the 11th century, aiming to recreate the atmosphere of a royal banquet. Over the years, the company expanded to several locations across the United States and Canada.
The Experience[edit | edit source]
Guests at Medieval Times are treated to a four-course meal while watching a live performance that includes jousting, sword fighting, and displays of horsemanship. The arena is divided into sections, each representing a different "knight" whom the audience is encouraged to cheer for during the tournament.
The Show[edit | edit source]
The show is set in an elaborate arena designed to resemble a medieval castle. The performance includes a storyline involving knights competing in various games of skill, such as jousting and sword fighting. The knights are dressed in authentic-looking armor and use weapons that are replicas of those used in the medieval period.
The Meal[edit | edit source]
The meal served at Medieval Times is designed to reflect the type of food that might have been served at a medieval banquet. It typically includes items such as roasted chicken, garlic bread, tomato bisque soup, and herb-basted potatoes. Guests are encouraged to eat with their hands, as utensils were not commonly used in the Middle Ages.
Locations[edit | edit source]
Medieval Times has nine locations across North America, including:
Each location is designed to resemble a medieval castle, complete with towers, flags, and other period-appropriate decorations.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
Medieval Times has become a popular destination for families, school groups, and tourists. It offers a unique blend of history and entertainment, providing an educational experience alongside the spectacle of the show. The company has also been featured in various films and television shows, further cementing its place in popular culture.
