The Medieval Banquet: Step Back in Time!
Saturday, October 11th, 2008
Enjoy a really unusual, fun night out with a four course meal, unlimited drink (during the meal) and court jesters and King Henry VIII’s Royal entertainers!
DESCRIPTION
Every evening except Monday (closed 24, 25 & 26 December), you can go back in time to be part of this Medieval Banquet in the lovely vaulted cellars of the Ivory House. Make your own way to this historic part of London in St Katherine’s Dock which is in the shadow of Tower Bridge. It is a wonderful venue and there is no reason why, you can’t step outside and really appreciate the nightime glory of this wonderful bridge. Built in 1894, the Bridge was designed by Horace Jones in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry. It was constructed after the City of London Corporation acknowledged the densly populated East End of London was coming to a standstill as there were no bridges to the East of London Bridge. Journeys to and from that part of London were literally being delayed by hours!
If the history of the venue doesn’t interest you, the food is sure to! Included in the price is a wonderful four course banquet, served medieval style with serving wenches. You will be entertained by amongst other things, duelling Knights, Magic and traditional music. Accompanying your meal (until dessert is served) is free flowing beer and wine!
After the meal there is music and dancing till late.
Duration of this tour is approximately 3 hours and the dress code is smart/casual. No jeans or trainers.
Your nearest tube to the Medieval Banquet venue is Tower Hill Station.
