The Queen's Joust

About

Join us for a bank holiday of exhilarating displays of combat and action, elegant and unusual equestrian, and medieval living and feasting.

Gasp at the first crash of lances, cheer as your favourite knight gallops past, and watch as England and France not only battle for the coveted cup, but more importantly, for the honour and attention of the queen.

As in English jousting history, no matter if you win the joust, if the queen doesn't deem you as the worthy winner, she'll choose someone else. A knight's armour and demeanour may just win them her hand… it's not all based on skill and combat.

This event is included with your Leeds Castle admission ticket, if you book online ahead you'll receive the best price!

Check out the Leeds Castle website to meet the English and French teams taking part. The Queen's Joust - Leeds Castle (leeds-castle.com)
