Challenge a Knight
12:00 Noon and 2:30 pm by the Arena –
Two 40 minute shows each day
The Duel, 2 Knight Show
The Duel pits 2 Knights in 3 rounds of combat. Each round they must use a different weapon.
In between each round, to give them a brief rest, our MC gets audience involvement when talking about the evolution of medieval armour, medieval helmets, and/or medieval weapons.
We also choose a monarch to oversee the fighting.
At the end of the show, we encourage the audience to meet with the Knights and other performers. We have a medieval display table and store to visit.
Challenge a Knight
Parents love this show as they get to watch their child fight against one of our Knights. The young challenger must wear a tabard and a medieval plastic helmet. They both use a foam sword, but they must respect the honour of the list. They must bow at the start of the duel to their opponent to show respect and they must give the Knight a High 5 at the end of the match to show that they are still friends.
