Step into the drama and pageantry of a mediaeval tournament at The Great Joust of Warwick Castle this Whitsun. One of the original “Royal Approved” sites of British jousting, Warwick Castle provides a mesmerising setting for a spectacular show. Warwick’s brave knights will pit their wits and strength against each other in a contest of courage, colourful horsemanship and military precision, with plenty to dazzle and delight guests of all ages. Jousting shows will run twice daily at 12.30 and 3.00pm.
And there’s plenty more adventure to discover. The deadly Warwick bowman will demonstrate his ruthless accuracy and fatal precision and the mighty Warwick trebuchet - the World’s biggest siege machine, a gargantuan 18metre catapult - shoots in a jaw dropping spectacle twice daily. PLUS an ALL NEW Birds of Prey show – Flight of the Eagles – brings together some of the largest birds in the country, including two stunning Stellar Sea Eagles. AND little knights and princesses can let off steam and capture their very own castle in a themed play zone. A huge timber land, with towers to scale, rope bridges to swing across and mini quintain and jousting fields to conquer, there’s also a toddler area for tiny squires and diddy damsels.
Add in rolling ramparts and turrets, a dingey dungeon, “live action” ghost tower, themed indoor experiences and acres of stunning grounds and Whitsun at Warwick Castle adds up to a full day of action packed excitement!
