Medieval Times is an exciting family-friendly attraction. Imagine a history lesson presented by a King and his Noble Court set within the walls of an 11th century style castle.
Guests are served a four course banquet and cheer for one of six Knights competing in the joust and other test of skill.
Students can expect to see almost two hours of jousting, swordsmanship, thrilling hand-to-hand combat, displays of extraordinary horsemanship and falconry as part of an exciting yet touching story set in medieval Spain.
This presentation is an excellent tie-in to our current unit Ancient Civilizations, under the transdisciplinary theme of ‘Where We Are In Place And Time’.
