Knights of the Realm is an international theatrical jousting show with a cast of  actors and stuntman utilizing  horses with a castle backdrop. The castle contains two torrents reaching 18 feet high and a stage for the King and Queen.

The show begins by the patrons interacting participating in archery and axe throwing contests. When the show begins the patrons take their seats while the master of arms introduces the knights from various countries. These knights hail from such lands as France, Spain, Ireland, England and Germany.

The audience will cheer the knight from their seating section to victory. Squires prepare the field for the tournaments of skill; slicing the water melon, javelin throws, big rings and little rings upon horse back.

Then, the Master of Arms releases the knights to prepare for combat. At this time the Master of Ceremonies provides the spectators with items of good will. Now the battle begins the clashing of lances and the spark of the sword. The competition continues until there is only one true champion. Victory is in your hands!

The Master of Ceremonies calls back out the knights who have fallen for one last victory lap. Patrons are welcomed down to the arena for more games, memorabilia and to meet the knights for autographs and pictures.
