What does it take to put on a show of medieval proportions? For starters, a stable of 30 horses, 10 of which are used in each performance. The swords are titanium and create sparks during battle sequences. Over the course of a year, approximately 3,900 lances are smashed in the furious jousting competition.

Such is the spectacle that is Tournament of Kings. The show begins with a visit from Merlin, who explains that each section of the audience is a ‘country’ and each country has a king. Prepare to cheer for yours as the show begins.

King Arthur gathers the rulers of Europe for an extravagant banquet and competition. The kings test their knightly skills while riding horses. But here’s where things get interesting: The generous hospitality of King Arthur is met with hostility when the evil wizard Mordred invades the party. The kings of Europe must unite to defeat him.

Be a guest at the banquet. Start off with a delicious bowl of ‘dragon’s blood.’ (Here’s a secret: it’s actually tomato soup.) Feast on a hearty Cornish game hen and vegetables, plus bread and dessert. In true medieval fashion, eat using your hands; there are no forks or spoons. And don’t forget to raise your glass and give a hearty toast to the kings.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
