The Royal Joust -- The Hanlon-Lees Action Theatre
Darkhorse Entertainment, LLC invites the public to go back in time at the Tennessee Medieval Faire. The Grand Opening is the last three weekends in May, including Memorial Day, in Harriman, TN. It’s a new tradition – Joust for You!
“The Medieval Faire has something for everyone,” said Barrie Paulson, VP-Manager & Entertainment Director. “The Faire is fun and family-friendly – and includes plenty of theatrical violence,” she said with a grin.
The rock stars of the Faire perform The Royal Joust in the tournament arena. There will also be Warriors’ Chess where the characters fight to take over the square. Warhorse rides will be offered between arena shows.
Rotating on the stages will be professional, interactive, comedy shows. These include The ridiculously dangerous Fire * Whip * Sword Show; The Steele Sisters; Fantasies, Fables & Fortunes; and Albi Belly Dancers. There will also be Celtic musicians, interactive folk dancers, puppet shows, games, and The Royal Players whose characters include young King Henry VIII. Period crafts, food and beer will be available.
On Saturday, May 9, from 4-5 p.m., there will be a catered media party on the Faire grounds. Entertainment will include jousting, chess match fights, costumed characters and music.
On Saturday, May 9, at 7pm, the City of Harriman will host its first Medieval Movie Night at the Princess Theatre featuring “A Knight’s Tale.” A Flash Mob will perform in front at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $6, and anyone coming in costume will get $1 off. The media and costumed street characters and vendors with the Tennessee Medieval Faire will get in free. Discounts are compliments of Darkhorse Entertainment.
