The event includes more than just jousting. The venue hosts falconry displays, a fire eater, and the Arundel Castle ‘Kids Battle’. The Medieval Encampment features demonstrations of forging, cooking, leather work, and period crafts. Attendees can enjoy performances by medieval musicians and participate in activities such as archery, warrior training, axe throwing, and crafts.
