The event – featuring Renaissance music, food, and entertainment – will held at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, and Saturday, Dec. 4, and Friday, Dec. 10, and Saturday, Dec. 11. Sunday performances at 3 p.m. will be held on Dec. 5 and Dec. 12.
The entire evening, which takes place in “Greystone Castle” – also known as the Middletown Community United Methodist Church – is set during the Renaissance period, and hosts will be in character throughout the event.
Entertainment includes Renaissance and traditional Christmas music sung by a lavishly costumed choir, an exciting drama (this year, pirates invade the Castle!), plus Renaissance dances and games in which all guests – known for the night as “nobles” – are encouraged to join.
Guests are encouraged to come costumed as nobles, peasants, or pirates – costumes are not required, although best-dressed guests may be recognized by the host. Also true to the Renaissance era, guests dine on a three-course sit down feast while all of the drama and music unfold around them.
