Long before the castle/arena opens to the public, knights and squires show up for the combat training and horse skills that are a part of every workday. But how does a show of this magnitude come across so flawlessly with each performance? How does a busboy from Myrtle Beach become a squire, and then become a knight? It starts with training and ends with experience.Įach and every day, knights and squires (knights in training) rehearse fight sequences. Closer to home, Fantasy Harbour (Highway 501 at the Intracoastal Waterway) in Myrtle Beach has seen a string of theater and theme parks start and stop over the past nearly 30 years, while Medieval Times has remained open and strong for 26 seasons. and one in Canada, this Spanish family-founded dinner theater concept has been entertaining and feeding guests since 1983, beginning with its very first castle in Orlando, Florida.

I was recently given an inside look at just what’s required of a young man (no women allowed in this role) as he moves from squire to knight in a daily show, how he becomes an expert horseman and how the fantasy comes to life for the audience amid the thrill of pounding hooves, medieval war games, falconry, and a half a rotisserie chicken, plus sides, a drink and dessert. Thus is the general theme of the popular dinner theater attraction Medieval Times, where cheering on your very own knight comes with a queen and her evil advisor, a four-course meal delivered by serving wenches and a side of fun. In this issue, we’ll ask you to suspend your disbelief and travel back in time to feudal Spain where a knight’s valor, horsemanship, expertise in war and political savvy were often his only salvation. We’ve covered a lot of ground, including in-depth profiles of an area K-9 officer, mayor, judge, shrimp boat captain, culinary arts educator and many others.
In our ongoing series, A Day in the Life, together we’ve explored a few of the many fascinating jobs required to keep a place as diverse as the Grand Strand fun, safe and fulfilling for locals and visitors. Knight Zach Walker prepares for the show’s opening sequence, when he and other knights and nobility are first introduced to the cheering crowd.
