Jousting Experience

You'll start off by dressing in medieval armour and costume with your very own title and coat of arms for the day; have an overview of the equipment and an introduction to the history of jousting. Mount your trusty steed for a short riding assessment before learning the basic jousting "Knight's Skills" including collecting 'Golden Rings' off the tilt with your lance and striking the dreaded man-shaped spinning 'Quintaine' target. Become master of the medieval broadsword as you learn a choreographed fight straight out of the movies to perform to your fellow 'knights-in-training', plus a chance to unleash your arrows upon the targets as you take up an English Longbow, time permitting. After lunch put everything you've learnt into practise as you complete in the "Grand Gauntlet Challenge" Medieval Tournament before you take on the resident Black Knight in a mini-joust to gain your Knighthood! The day will end with the all important Knighting Ceremony and presentation of certificates, after which you can ride off into the sunset to find a few dragons to slay!
