I’ve been performing at banquets for nearly nineteen years now and still enjoy it as much as ever – people are always out to have a good time, and a banquet provides something a little bit out of the ordinary they’ll remember for a very long time – plus, you get to dress up too!

A typical evening banquet lasts about three hours with four or five food courses alternating with performers and musicians providing comedy, music, dancing, singing, a medieval joust (all of which you can join in), sword-fighting, magic, illusion and feats of silliness such as the deadly Bed of Nails (where you shouldn’t join in),  before a spectacular fire-breathing finale! And yes, that is me in the picture, firebreathing at a mediaeval wedding! As Robin Hood I entertain, MC and compere, swordfight, fire-breathe, perform bed of nail/walking on broken glass acts, run  games and dances, accompany the musicians (on the drums) and generally organise and keep things running smoothly.

Menu’s vary according to price and location, but you can expect simple but tasty food such as soups, salads, chicken and meat courses. Some venues include free beer or lager in the cover price, others have standard pay bars. 

I have regularly performed (and still do!) with a number of very talented performers at venues in and around Nottingham and all over the UK, including Center Parcs (Sherwood), The Sheriff’s Lodge and The Tales of Robin Hood (Nottingham), Warwick Castle (Warwick), Peckforton Castle (Cheshire), Battle Abbey (Hastings), Coombe Abbey (Coventry) and many more.
