Medieval Times Myrtle Beach Reopens August 8 with Enhanced Safety Measures

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Prioritizes Guest Safety with Updated Protocols

Following a closure in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Myrtle Beach is reopening its doors on Saturday, August 8. The venue has developed a comprehensive safety plan to protect guests and staff. Tickets are now available, and Her Majesty is prepared to welcome back her Royal Guests.

Key safety enhancements include mandatory masks for all guests, contactless temperature screenings upon entry, and reduced capacity to 250 guests with parties seated at least six feet apart in the Grand Ceremonial Arena. Additional measures are:

  • Minimal-contact castle entry
  • High-touch surfaces disinfected multiple times per show
  • Digital menus via smartphones and disposable table cards
  • Pre-shift health screenings for team members
  • Masks and gloves for team members when handling food or drinks
  • Disposable silverware available on request

Medieval Times Myrtle Beach Reopens August 8 with Enhanced Safety Measures

“We collaborated with health experts and government officials to craft this robust reopening plan,” said Perico Montaner, President and CEO of Medieval Times. “It safeguards our guests and staff while preserving the majesty and grandeur of our tournaments.”

Guests will still enjoy a safe, thrilling experience, including a four-course meal and a two-hour live jousting tournament with six knights, authentic weapons, majestic horses, and a royal falcon flight.

Medieval Times anticipates welcoming back about 2,000 team members across all locations upon reopening.

During closure, staff maintained the horses and falcons, upheld operations at all 10 castles, and repurposed costume shop materials to produce masks donated to frontline workers. The Sanger, Texas ranch also celebrated the annual birth of 25-30 foals.

    A revealing road trip through the unexplored Southern PeloponneseDespite being the desire of many invaders throughout its long history, in more recent years, the Southern Peloponnese has rarely received the attention it deserves. Even its location seems an afterthought, stretched over three peninsulas, from historic Pylos and Methoni in the west, to the central mountains and clans of the Mani, and over to the Byzantine wonders of Laconia in the east. It is a landscape as dramatic as its history,

    With its complex, melodious warble and loud chatter call, mostly olive-green feathered, and just six inches in size, red-billed leiothrix is a pretty and attractive bird.
