A DINING experience straight out of a scene from the 13th century has sold out for the fourth straight year since its inception. 

Kings, peasants, a jester and many more will perform at this year's Battle of Evesham Medieval Banquet which gives guests a unique and authentic experience of life over 700 years ago. 

The event has a very limited capacity when compared to the Battle of Evesham Festival which attracts tens of thousands of people to the town each year. 

The banquet is one of three smaller fundraising events put on by the group to support one of the biggest events in Evesham's cultural calendar.

Mick Hurst, Battle of Evesham director said: "This year's fourth annual banquet will take place at All Saints Church on October 19 and it has sold out again like it has every year. 

"It is a fundraiser and provides exposure for our main festival. 

"Guests will enjoy five hours of full-on entertainment and an authentic four-course medieval meal put on by volunteers and reenactors at an authentic medieval church.

"It's a lot of fun, there will be sword fights, jousting, and England's best jester. 

"We only have one strict rule, everyone from the guests to the bar staff must wear medieval outfits. 

"It doesn't matter the standard but you won't be let in without one."

Between 25 and 30 re-enactors will perform throughout the church in front of the 110 guests, many of whom have travelled from across the country for a night out in Evesham.

Mr Hurst continued: "It's very humbling to see people coming from across the country to spend a night out in Evesham. 

"There is a group of old friends who meet up in the middle of the country and some of them have been coming here for all four years.

"Some people enjoyed the festival so much they decided to come back for the banquet.

"One of the most humbling comments we got was from a professional banquet performer from Warwick Castle who said it was by far the most energetic and entertaining event she had been involved in.

"The whole evening is meticulously planned out but it's even better when it goes wrong."
