Canterbury Village Medieval Faire - Royal Feast 2023

Step into a time gone by and experience a true medieval feast set in the opulence of Canterbury Castle in Lake Orion, MI - where all proceeds will go to a local charity!

 

Guests will begin arriving at 6:30 PM to start an evening of feasting and festivities. The banquet will commence at 7:15 where you, our honored guest, will be served a delicious five course feast that is truly fit for Royalty.

 

Throughout the evening you will experience a variety of entertainment from the Royal Court and Mary Queen of Scots with court jesters, pipers, minstrels, troubadours, and a cast of characters that will fill the court with song and merriment! After your sumptuous repast you can enter into the Royal Costume contest where one lucky courtier has the opportunity to win $100 for the best costume after which one can trip it as ye go, on the light fantastic toe to the music from the Royal DJ. Truly a remarkable and memorable evening all set in the Canterbury Castle in the King Richard Ballroom!
