Join the Knights of Nottingham for an exhilarating weekend of jousting at Berkeley Castle, this May bank holiday.

Brave knights and their steeds are riding into Berkeley Castle for an action-packed May bank holiday weekend of medieval jousting displays.

Going head-to-head at the historic attraction on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 May 2024, the Knights of Nottingham are back with hard-hitting jousting tournaments each day.

Cheer for the gallant White Knight as they face the formidable Black Knight on horseback, in a thrilling display of combat where anything can happen.

Audience participation is encouraged and the jovial St Frederick is on hand to keep the whole family laughing with his merry antics, too!

Don't forget to swing by the brand-new Kitchen Garden restaurant in Berkeley Castle's walled garden for a bite to eat and light refreshments after a full day of jousting action.

Tickets to the Joust can be purchased online via berkeley-castle.com/the-joust and include entrance to the castle and gardens.
