This summer sample a big fat slice of mediaeval life with jousting, jesting, minstrels, fighting knights, falconry, archery and the mighty Warwick trebuchet - plus indoor themed experiences and a whole castle full of adventure to discover every day.
One of the original “Royal Approved” sites of British jousting, Warwick Castle provides a mesmerising setting for its spectacular twice daily joust. Warwick’s brave knights 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.
Meanwhile, foot soliders will show off their crack combat skills and jesters will juggle, joke and generally play the fool. The ruthless accuracy and fatal precision of the deadly Warwick bowman is guaranteed to wow guests, as is the one and only 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 for 2008 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 Warwick Castle adds up to a full Summer’s day of action packed excitement!
