Witness a spectacle of epic proportions as Henry VIII’s Joust returns to Hampton Court Palace this July.
For two weekends only, experience jousting at the spectacular home of Henry VIII. Be dazzled by daredevil tricks performed on horseback, then pick your favourite knight and cheer, jeer and follow all the fun of an epic face-off until one knight reigns supreme. Look closely and you may even see the King himself taking part!
Alongside the excitement of the joust, see breathtaking falconry displays and learn about these majestic animals.
