What did people do in the middle ages for entertainment? Types of Medieval Entertainment varied according to status but included feasts, banquets, jousts and tournaments, Mystery Plays, fairs, games and sports, hunting, hawking, animal entertainment using dogs, bears and monkeys.

The monotony of Medieval daily life during the Middle ages was alleviated by the various types of entertainment, festivals and holidays. The Medieval people of the Middle Ages shared a common life in the work of the fields, in the sports of the village green, and in the services of the parish church. They enjoyed many holidays; it has been estimated that, besides Sundays, about eight weeks in every year were free from work. Festivities at Christmas, Easter, and May Day, at the end of ploughing and the completion of harvest, relieved the monotony of the daily round of labor.

Who were the people who provided the entertainment during the Middle Ages? The Medieval entertainers of the Middle Ages included Jesters (A fool or buffoon at medieval courts), Mummers (Masked or costumed merrymaker or dancers at festivals), Minstrels and Troubadours, acrobats and jugglers and conjurers.

Medieval Games of the Middle Ages were popular in all walks of society. Games were played by the Upper classes and the Lower classes. By adults and children. Different types of Games and entertainment fell into a number of different categories including Card Games, Board Games, Dice Games, Sporting Games and Children’s games. The following board games were played and enjoyed as entertainment during the Middle Ages:
Chess
Tables – Backgammon
Nine Men’s Morris
Alquerques – A classic period strategy game, an ancestor of Checkers
Fox & Geese – a game of strategy
The Philosophers Game – a game of strategy and numbers
Shovelboard – the ancestor of shuffleboard
Knucklebones – Early game of dice
Hazard – an ancestor of Craps

Hope all of the above is a help.
