The honest version: Medieval Times films its show chain-wide, and verified film of the Myrtle Beach castle specifically barely exists. Rather than dress this page with footage from other castles, it carries the one film that is genuinely Myrtle Beach's — and says so.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament | 40 Years of Entertainment

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Jim Collins, Medieval Times' director of stunts and choreography at the Myrtle Beach castle, tells how he walked in looking for a job 30 years ago and was put in a show that same night. He explains the tournament story — the king and queen call the knights of the realm to compete — and why the immersive dinner, eaten with your hands, becomes a core memory families return to across generations.

Key takeaways
  • Stunt director Jim Collins has choreographed the Myrtle Beach castle's fights for 30 years
  • The show is a full tournament story: knights compete for the honor of victor before the king and queen
  • Dinner is part of the immersion — guests eat with their hands, medieval style

The one film

Jim Collins, Medieval Times' director of stunts and choreography at the Myrtle Beach castle, tells how he walked in looking for a job 30 years ago and was put in a show that same night. He explains the tournament story — the king and queen call the knights of the realm to compete — and why the immersive dinner, eaten with your hands, becomes a core memory families return to across generations.

What the format is

From that film and the venue's own materials: jousting knights, falconry and horsemanship around a multi-course feast in the castle on North Kings Highway — the Myrtle Beach castle has run the format for decades as one of the Grand Strand's dinner-show staples. If you film a full evening at this castle, this page has room for you: it publishes its count honestly and will grow when the supply does.
