Dinner Shows in Tenerife: Which One to Choose

Updated 29 October 2026 · DoTenerife

The most popular dinner shows in Tenerife are the medieval banquet at Castillo San Miguel near Golf del Sur, a family favourite with knights and jousting, and the adult drag and cabaret dinner shows in the Costa Adeje area, such as the Music Hall Tavern and Scandal. Most cost from around 50 euros per person, usually include a meal and often offer hotel transfers. Book in advance for weekends and school holidays.

If you would rather see a show without the dinner package, many bars run free-entry cabaret, tribute and comedy nights. See what’s on tonight for the evening’s line-up.

Castillo San Miguel medieval show

A purpose-built castle near Aldea Blanca, in the San Miguel de Abona municipality, close to Golf del Sur. Guests eat a banquet-style meal, typically with wine and soft drinks included, while knights compete in a tournament with horses, sword fights and jousting. Audiences are split into colours to cheer for their knight. It is lively, loud and very much aimed at families and groups.

  • Duration: around 2 to 2.5 hours for the show and meal.
  • Transport: usually available from the main southern resorts.
  • Food: set menu; ask about vegetarian and dietary options when booking.

Drag and cabaret dinner shows

The south has several long-running drag and cabaret dinner shows that combine food, drinks and a full production with costumes, live vocals, dance and comedy.

  • Music Hall Tavern: a well-known comedy drag show. Packages range from show-only tickets to dinner with drinks, a pre-show and hotel transfers from many areas. Expect audience participation, especially for hen parties.
  • Scandal Dinner Show: an adults-only evening at Hotel GF Victoria in Costa Adeje, mixing a multi-course dinner with cabaret, burlesque, live vocals and comedy, in a more glamorous setting.

Theatre and music shows

Not a dinner show as such, but the Pirámide de Arona auditorium in Playa de las Américas hosts larger music and dance productions at certain times of the year, such as the History music show, which ran on Saturdays in June 2026. Programmes change, so check the events calendar.

What is usually included

  • Dinner: a set menu of two to four courses, depending on the show.
  • Drinks: some include wine, beer and soft drinks; premium packages may include spirits and cocktails.
  • Transport: often included or optional, from selected resorts.
  • Extras: souvenir photos, meet-and-greet or VIP seating at some shows.

Read the ticket details carefully. Transfers may exclude some areas, and “drinks included” can mean only during dinner.

Prices

As a rough guide, dinner shows in Tenerife typically start from around 50 euros per adult, with children’s tickets cheaper where children are allowed. All-inclusive drinks, front-row seating and transfers add to the cost. Prices vary by season and booking channel, so compare a few options.

Tips for booking

  • Book ahead, especially for Friday and Saturday nights and holidays.
  • Mention special occasions. Birthdays and hen dos often get a shout-out.
  • Check dietary options when booking rather than on the night.
  • Arrive on time. Shows run to a schedule, and coaches leave promptly.
  • Check age rules before taking teenagers to drag or cabaret shows.

Accessibility

Ticketed dinner shows usually have more space than small show bars, and some can arrange step-free seating or a table near the exit. Ask when booking, and mention any dietary needs at the same time.

Which dinner show should you choose?

  • With children: the medieval show at Castillo San Miguel.
  • Hen do or group night: a drag comedy show.
  • Couples or a special occasion: an adults-only cabaret dinner.
  • Something more cultural: a flamenco night.
