Medieval Jousting Adventure

Welcome, brave knights, ladies, and loyal squires, to a day of jousting that brings history alive! Picture yourself in Ye Olde England, surrounded by the captivating atmosphere of a bygone era. At our Jousting School, you will not only learn the art of jousting, but you will also engage in a variety of noble sports, both on the ground and on horseback.

As you prepare to embark on this adventure, you'll find yourself beneath the majestic shadow of Warwick Castle, a perfect setting for a day filled with Medieval excitement. Imagine honing your skills like young knights of yore, striving to win glory, admiration, and perhaps even the favor of a lady.

You may wonder if you need to be an expert horseman to joust. While any prior experience will certainly give you a leg up, it is not a requirement to enjoy this exciting day. Our horses are well-trained partners, comfortable with the jousting process, helping to ensure an enjoyable ride for everyone, regardless of skill level.

But there's far more to this experience than simply mounted jousting. You'll also engage in thrilling activities like choreographed sword fighting and may even take aim with a longbow. The heart of this experience lies in learning jousting – so don your armor, reveal your knightly title, and prepare for the challenge ahead! You'll practice hitting the quintaine, master the technique of collecting rings from the tilt, and perhaps even participate in a pig sticking competition.

This immersive jousting adventure allows you to embody the spirit of a noble knight. You'll be guided by a team of highly skilled stunt horsemen and women, ensuring your safety while you learn. After a morning of intense training, you'll have the chance to show off your newfound abilities in an exciting Gauntlet Challenge, competing for points against fellow novices.

The grand finale of your jousting journey awaits as you face off against the dreaded Black Knight in a spectacular mounted challenge. This is your moment to shine and capture the attention of the King with your jousting prowess. Lower your visor, raise your lance high, and with a triumphant cry of 'huzzah', charge into action!
