A Queen Size Celebration

Christmas arrives each year with a certain excitement and magic. On even-numbered years since 1988, Brazosport Center for the Arts & Sciences’ Elizabethan Madrigal Feast transports guests to the enchanting Yuletide of Renaissance England. As she has for nearly three decades, Queen Elizabeth I will arrive with all the pageantry expected of a royal to the small coastal town of Clute, Texas.

The Queen and her Court will make their biennial visit in 2024 as part of an elaborate and courtly feast in our recreation of the Great Hall of Warwick Castle. Join the Earl of Warwick, a rag-tag cast of Shakespearean actors, dancers and singers as we feast on a three-course gourmet meal, immerse ourselves in the spectacle of period costumes and, together with friends and family, Welcome Yule!

The evening features an elegant dinner with a European flair befitting the Christmas season with a modernized Shakespearean comedy. Costumed actors serve the three-course meal, interacting with guests to draw them into the evening’s entertainment.

Make plans now to attend this elegant and immersive experience. It is a night fit for a queen…an experience not to be missed!
