Step back in time and immerse yourself in the thrill and majesty of medieval jousting at Hedingham Castle this April for our first joust of the year!

Join us for an unforgettable spectacle as the ever-popular Knights of Middle England take to the Hedingham battle ground, showcasing their skill, courage and chivalry as they battle it out to be proclaimed champion!

Take part in medieval pursuits including archery and axe throwing, witness beautiful birds of prey flying in front of the Norman Keep and learn how to fight like a medieval knight! There is so much to explore in the Castle and grounds to learn all about Hedingham’s 900-year-long history.

Refuel at one of the food stalls, serving a variety of hot and cold fayre, and browse some lovely artisan merchant stalls for a memento of the day. A unique and exciting day out for the whole family!

Gates open at 10am each day, with the first Joust starting at approximately midday and the second Joust starting at approximately 3pm.
