The show provides a new spin on the concept of going out to dinner. It provides a great deal of added excitement when knights take to their horses and duel for supremacy.
Arena style seating is available and each section is designed to represent a different country. There are seven different “country” sections, in addition to a “dark knight” section. This is where the minions of the evil Mordred dwell.
Guests are encouraged to cheer for the king, He represents their section as the knights compete with one another and these fierce battles include jousting, horse racing, sword fighting and gladiator battles.
Guests take their seats and receive their first portion, “dragon’s blood” (aka hot tomato soup.) They don’t offer utensils, which serves to add to the authentic medieval feel and patrons must consume their meal with their fingers.
There are a wide range of alcoholic beverages available, as well as soda and juice. A court jester and Merlin introduce three different cheering methods that are designed to drive audience engagement.
