This summer the Knights of Royal England will be entertaining visitors with exhilarating displays of action, stunts, falls and fights in an authentic arena complete with a Royal Box. Battling it out in the saddle and on foot in one-to-one combat, the valiant knights will then compete for points to find this season’s ultimate champion.
Join Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the Knights of Royal England in the procession to the Jousting arena.
Bring a blanket or watch the joust in style from the medieval spectator stands. The spectator stands are available for a small cost (£2.00 per seat, payable on the day) on a first-come, first-serve basis. Then choose which knight to support and cheer them to glory.
Keep up to date with the jousting leader board throughout the season.
Entrance to the Jousting Tournament is included in a Gardens Only or Castle & Gardens admission ticket.
