In this fully immersive guest experience, a medieval castle-themed dinner theater spanning 80,000 ft² combines live entertainment, hospitality, and equestrian facilities in a 1,000-seat stadium-style dinner arena for 11th Century tournament performances. The venue programming includes the 27,000-ft² arena, supported by a commercial kitchen and an expansive 18,500-ft² Great Hall, a 2,500-ft² horse warm-up area, back-of-house for staff, and operational support provided through two loading docks and three trash service docks. A separate 7,200-ft² stable building accommodates the horses featured in the performances, completing a destination designed to deliver an authentic medieval entertainment experience.
