Hedingham Castle - Knights of Middle England Joust

Step back in time this Easter and experience the drama and pageantry of medieval jousting at Hedingham Castle, as we kick off our first joust of the year!

Prepare for an unforgettable spectacle as the magnificent Knights of Middle England charge onto the Hedingham battleground, displaying breathtaking skill, courage and chivalry as they compete to be crowned champion.

Get hands-on with medieval life and try your hand at archery and axe throwing, learn how to fight like a knight and marvel at stunning birds of prey as they soar against the dramatic backdrop of the Norman Keep. With the Castle and grounds steeped in almost 900 years of history, there’s plenty to discover throughout the day.
