SUMMER JOUSTING EVENTS:
July: 16 & 17, 23 & 24, 30 & 31
August: 6 & 7, 13 & 14, 20 & 21, 26 – 29
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. Choose which knight to support and then cheer them to glory.
Bring a blanket or watch the joust in style from the medieval spectator stands.
Please note that the popular procession with Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the Knights of Royal England from the Castle Forecourt to the Jousting arena will not happen this year.
Keep up to date with the jousting leader board throughout the season. View a gallery of photos on Hever Castle’s Pinterest.
Entrance to the Jousting Tournament is included in a Gardens Only or Castle & Gardens admission ticket.
Always check details before travelling. Hever Castle reserves the right to close all or part of the Castle, grounds, catering outlets and activities, and to change or cancel and events. Please note that use of partner offers may be restricted or not valid on event days.
Beautiful Castle & Grounds any time of year!

Set in the Garden of England, it is the ultimate place to visit with historical beauty, and events going on all year round. It is truly an amazing place and good value for money.

Walking in the footsteps of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn! The castle is magnificent as are the grounds, I cannot believe I didn't visit this more when I lived in UK. A great day out for the family.

Hever Castle is definitely a very special place to visit for young and old alike, we visit as a family as well as sometimes with friends at least once a year.
