A 'Game of Thrones'-Style Medieval Banquet Is Coming to Melbourne
It'll be just like The Red Wedding — but with more ale and less murder.
Winter might still be months away, and the final series of Game of Thrones too, but there is an event coming to Melbourne that will tide fans over — at least temporarily. Call your banners and get ready for a medieval-style banquet, all in the vein of GoT.
Prepare for a meal that not only replicates the fascinating and often terrifying world of GoT that so many have come to depend on for meaning in life, but will include a share-style three-course feast, a selection of wine, bubbles and beer, and some murderous entertainment. While many details of the event are still shrouded in mystery (much like the eventual outcome of the series), two sittings will take place on Saturday, March 23: for lunch from 12–3pm, and for dinner from 7–10pm.
The meal's location is yet to be revealed, but the specific theme is no secret. Taking its cues from a particularly notorious episode of HBO's hit series, this immersive banquet will be styled after the Red Wedding. Yes, you can assume there'll be some recreations of scenes from George R. R. Martin's saga — although here's hoping there's no regicide at this one.
If, like Jon Snow, you know nothing, then you're in for an entertaining feast. Costumes are welcome, but no pretend (or real) weaponry.
As for tickets, they'll cost you a few gold dragons — or $232.09 per person.
The Red Wedding banquet will happen in Melbourne on Saturday, March 23, with tickets on sale now.
