We call to squires both young and old. Have you got what it takes to join the Knights of the Round Table?
As Hever Castle celebrates 40 years of jousting, children are invited to follow in the footsteps of legendary knights and begin their training under the guidance of King Arthur’s Court.
Through a series of interactive challenges and activities, aspiring knights will test their strength, courage and skill while learning the values of chivalry, teamwork and bravery. Young squires can take part in hobby horse jousting, knightly training and medieval-inspired games before completing their adventure with a memorable photo opportunity at the legendary Sword in the Stone.
Suitable for all ages.
