Medieval Knights set to descend on Arundel Castle

Medieval knights from up and down the country will take up arms and participate in the tournament which will take place under the oldest part of the castle, with a large tented encampment covering the American Lawns.

Visitors will be gripped by a series of powerful clashes using a range of weaponry, including pole arm weapons, single-handed swords and hand-and-a-half swords.

Aside from the skirmishes, visitors will be able to enjoy beautiful ancient melodies performed by Rough Musicke and tales from years gone by re-enlivened by a 15th Century storyteller, as well as crafts showcases, cookery demonstrations and breath-taking falconry displays.

For younger visitors (eight years and older) there is also the opportunity to hone their bow and arrow skills, with have-a-go archery sessions throughout the weekend.

Castle Manager Bryan McDonald commented: “I very much look forward to seeing the action unfold at Arundel Castle over the coming weeks, I am certain that it will be as captivating as ever!”
