Kings Feast

[dameoftherealm]

Can you get tickets at the gate and how soon does it sale out?

[LadyJessica]

Yes you can buy tickets but not at the gate.  Go to the store at the entrance to the King's Feast and you can get tickets then.  Usually they're not sold out but if you're going with a large crowd you may not be able to sit together but if it's just one or two I'm sure it'll be fine.

Mmmm I have always wanted to go to the Kings Feast.

[LadyElizabeth]

I've never been to Kings feast either...  I've heard its all u can eat and drink?  That would be maybe worth it one weekend this year.  It's not like I won't be there every weekend and will most likely have the time at some point.

If you have a thought of going later in the season, make your reservations opening weekend.

[LadyJessica]

Yes it is all you can eat and drink...well all you can eat during the Entree course. 

1st course - bread, cheese, fruit
2nd course - small salad (usually Ceaser)
3rd course - soup (changes yearly)
4th course - (The big meal) they bring you out a plate with garlic sauteed summer veggies (squash and fresh green beans and something else but I can't remember as I can't eat it so I don't really pay attention to it) and garlic roasted red potatoes and they walk around with prime rib (on swords), pork tenderloin (on those 3 prongs chinese weapon thingies same with the next 2 items), rosemary chicken, and sausages that almost taste like brauts.  You get all the meat you can eat. 
5th course - desert (changes yearly but always has fresh berry's from the garden that George owns. The Creme Brulee one year was WONDERFUL!)

[LadyElizabeth]

Oh my gosh, that sounds so lovely... you are so making my mouth water right now!!!  I'm thinking it's a must for this fair season!!!  Now which weekend is the trick?

[LadyJessica]

Just talk to the people in the shop and they should be able to let you know which weekend is less full.

[Nagling]

If you really want to go, you need to move quick.  It's less crowded opening weekend, and you may be able to get tickets next weekend.  However, from Halloween weekend on - good luck!  They fill up fast.

I'll be there tomorrow with a small party for the first show/feast.

And by the way, they normally won't let you leave the Feast Hall unless your mug is topped off with your favorite beverage...

Good hunting...

PS - Don't forget to tip on your way out!

Lady Kitara and I are finally getting a chance to go.  We will be in the first show Pirate Weekend.

[LadyShadow]

I have never been.  But I oh so want to go.  And now that I have read this tread I am all of a sudden hungry and my mouth is watering.  Maybe this year things will align and I can go.

 The King's Feast was wonderous! I thoroughly enjoyed it! 

[Lord Virgo]

This year was my first time doing Kings Feast.  Well worth the $$$$$.  I thouroughly enjoyed it.

[Lady Ann of Draycott]

They told me that Sundays are the best days to go because they are rarely ever sold out on Sunday.  I went with Teach & Trinn and got my ticket about an hour or so before the feast.  There were plenty of extra seats too, we got to move up a table and spread out a little which was great! 

If you go, pace yourself, don't eat everything they bring you!  Nibble on the fruit, cheese and bread if you are really hungry, I wouldn't have even touched my salad if I had known better!!! The soup was wonderful so I'm glad I ate that, but just be careful because I was already full by the time they brought the main course!    I will know better next time!!!

 WOW!!!  Friends I am glad to let you know about this because now (One full year after Gastric Bypass) I could never make going pay!! Lady Heather (My Friend at Faire AND IRL) and I attended two years ago!! I thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and the food was Excellent,but the part I will always remember was,because of my SIZE,they put me on the end of our table on a heavy wooden stool. The revelers at the table behind and across from ours were waving and joking basically just having fun. I felt a tiny tapping on my shoulder and turned from my plate to see a very pretty woman in garb,apparently embarrassed about wanting a picture,her friends were egging her on so instead of standing I took her hand and assisted her on to my lap (it was much smaller then!) the table she had come from erupted in whoops of laughter and four or five flashes went off! I helped her to stand up and received a kiss on the cheek for my trouble,well,during the rest of the break in entertainment I would receive several more taps on my shoulder,other women from the same table that were all asking for pictures with me! I received a kiss on the cheek and a thank you from each lady. Every time I would turn back to the table and return to whatever conversations or food I was enjoying before being interupted. Soon,sure enough another tap came I spun around on the stool and reached for the proffered hand.........only to find myself facing a man dressed in the furs of a barbarian!!!!! I am happy to report that without blinking....much.....I helped him to perch on my knee,smiled for the pictures and assisted him to his feet and as he turned to go back I shouted at him "WHAT, NO KISS!??!"  He meekly returned and amid MUCH good hearted laughter, bent low ........and shoved a dollar in my vest!!  I just wish I had some of those pictures!!!
