The Banquet in the Kingdom is one of the most sought-after experiences at Loxwood Joust and for 2026, it returns as a shared feast designed to be savoured together. Guests gather at long tables for an afternoon of food, drink, and story.
A SHARED FEAST
The banquet is served family-style, with generous platters landing on the table as performers move between guests and moments unfold around you. Expect bold, crowd-pleasing flavours, food designed to be shared, and an atmosphere that feels celebratory, chaotic (in the best way), and completely unforgettable.

Why It Sells Out
Banquet tickets are extremely limited. Each sitting is capped to keep it exclusive, immersive, and high-impact and they sell out every year.
If you book one thing, make it this.
