Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, Medieval dinner theater in Myrtle Beach, United States.
Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament is a dinner theater in a castle-style building where guests watch knights compete in sword fights and mounted combat. The venue combines a multi-course meal with a live performance of medieval-style battles and horsemanship displayed in a large arena setting.
The theater draws inspiration from 11th-century Spanish tournaments, incorporating historical combat techniques and horsemanship traditions. These historical elements were transformed into a modern entertainment format that brings medieval spectacles to contemporary audiences.
The performance features actors playing medieval characters alongside trained falcons that fly overhead and Spanish horses performing classical movements. This blend of theater and animal skills creates an entertaining mix of historical elements and stage entertainment.
Guests receive a four-course meal served without utensils and sit in color-coded sections based on which knight they support. It helps to arrive early to explore the arena space and get comfortable with the dinner-show setup before the performance begins.
Each guest receives a colored crown matching their designated knight's colors, creating distinct cheering sections throughout the arena. This simple crown becomes a visible symbol that binds spectators into temporary groups rooting for the same competitor.
