Jousting at Knebwortth

Looking for something interesting to do this Easter> The Knights of Arkley will be jousting in front of Knebworth House on Easter Sunday and Monday 5-6th April.

The turrets and towers of Knebworth House provide a spectacular backdrop to the action. Costumed knights on majestic warhorses gallop at full tilt across the arena in a fantastic display of horsemanship. Knights demonstrate their skills in hand to hand combat to the delight of the crowds who are encouraged to cheer, and jeer, their favourite knights.

At the start of each performance, there will be a ‘Knight School’ where a lucky few children from the audience will be invited to have a try at fighting for fun with the knights and their squires. There are two scheduled jousting displays on both days at about 12.30 and 2.30 pm (depending on the weather).

There is no additional charge to see the jousting which is included in the Park and Gardens admission ticket. It’s a fantastic value day out – for just £9.50 per person, families can enjoy a day at the Park, Fort Knebworth and the Adventure playground, the delightful Gardens and Dinosaur trail plus the jousting. Once again, the Green Dragon Bowmen will be offering visitors the chance to try some archery. There is a small charge of £2 for 6 arrows.

There will also be jousting on 9th August.
