1. Legendary Joust

Kenilworth Castle, once the site of one of the most formidable sieges in English history, will host this historic sporting contest on the 20 and 21 July 2024.

The spectacle will see four knights and their horses clash in a test of bravery and skill.

Each rider represents a character from myth or legend, including the famous Sir Lancelot, who will be vying for the adoration of the crowds.

In each round, two knights will ride towards each other, armed with lances in their right hand which go across their body and over their horse's head, aiming strike their opponent's left side. Separating the riders will be a 'tilt' or barrier running down the grounds of the castle.
