The Great Jousting Tournament
24th May - 1st June
Two men. Dressed head to toe in mediaeval armour. Armed to the teeth. And charging towards each other on horseback... It's sport. But nothing like you've seen before.
Warwick Castle was one of only 5 places given permission by Richard the Lionheart to hold Jousts. Now it's back for nine days of heart stopping entertainment. And as if that wasn't enough, there's also displays of archery from the Warwick Bowman, the stunning Flight of the Eagles show and a whole Castle full of fun to discover afterwards.
