Show still on top after many years, but the session keeps getting shorter
Bunratty Castle Medieval Banquet的点评
点评:As locals, we’ve been bringing visitors to the medieval banquets almost every second year since 2000. The 2025 band is still on top — full of energy, with a remarkable master of ceremony and a very talented violinist we first discovered years ago. The staff is welcoming and friendly and will pay attention to every guest.
The famous “bottomless” wine jug is still there, and the food remains fine.
However, the show has clearly suffered from shrinkflation over the years (not just in Bunratty, but in Knappogue too).
It feels as though they’re trying to fit in more tour groups each evening, and the result is a somewhat rushed experience compared to the relaxed atmosphere we used to love.
Prices have steadily increased, and in our opinion, it’s now only worth it when there’s a special deal available. There’s practically no waiting time, you are just asked to arrive a few minutes early. Just note that the entrance route isn’t clearly marked — we had to walk through a dark, closed souvenir shop to reach the reception, and others nearly missed the start while waiting to be greeted outside.
翻译:作为当地人,自2000年以来,我们几乎每隔一年就会带游客参加一次中世纪宴会。2025乐队依然是这里的佼佼者——充满活力,拥有一位出色的司仪和一位我们多年前就发现的才华横溢的小提琴手。工作人员热情友好,会关注每一位客人。
著名的“无底”酒壶依然存在,食物也依然美味。
然而,这些年来,这场演出明显受到了萎缩的影响(不仅在邦拉提,在纳普格也是如此)。
感觉他们每晚都在努力安排更多的旅行团,结果与我们过去喜欢的轻松氛围相比,体验略显仓促。
价格稳步上涨,我们认为,现在只有在有特价时才值得。几乎没有等待时间,你只需要提前几分钟到场即可。请注意,入口路线标记不清晰——我们必须穿过一家黑暗、关闭的纪念品商店才能到达接待处,而其他人在外面等待迎接时差点错过了起点。
