Bringing history to life

Historical Themed Entertainment

Historical Themed Entertainment by Black Knight Historical.

If you are planning an event,  party, wedding, celebration, fundraiser or banquet,  we ‘stand and deliver!’ 


For such occasions we offer a wide choice of light-hearted entertainment with historical flavour; a single character can spice up the event, if it is somebody as famous as Guy Fawkes, The Grim Reaper, King Henry VIII, The Holly King, or Cap’n ‘Calico’ Jack Rackham the pirate!

Living Statues, such as Charlie Chaplin, Nelson or Roman Emperor amaze and delight. And our colourful villains – the Black Knight, Witchfinder General, Pirates and the merciless Highwaymen – can be trusted to make any required mischief. Stand and deliver!

Storytelling was an essential part of popular entertainment throughout the ages, and we are doing our utmost to keep this ancient oral tradition alive. Our storytellers have something special for every occasion and for young and old alike, : epic adventures, legends, children’s fairy tales, romance.  See our Testimonial Page

Fancy yourself as a great detective? Brother Cadfael, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple? Try and unravel the clues as our professional cast present to you a great evening of intrigue, mystery and MURDER! Can you spot the villain amongst a group of suspects – usually there are many with motives… Devious plots, false leads, twists and turns, and startling effects! Usually accompanied by a sumptuous evening meal, it is an ideal party for friends and colleagues to enjoy. Hope you like red herrings!

We can also help you to find a licensed venue from our catalogue of castles and historical properties, and to decorate it as the occasion requires. We can even provide themed bars and outside catering to complete the historical themed entertainment package if required.
