Jousting with the Knights of the Damned
Grand Ring twice daily
The Knights of the Damned perform a fantastic, coloured costumed display of Medieval Jousting at its very best. Consisting of heroic mounted knights and their squires the tournament begins with fanfares and introductions and ends with the dramatic thundering of hooves as the knights attempt to unhorse each other in the 'JOUST'. Watch as the knights hone their skills by striking the man-shaped target, the quintain, and attempt to spear peasants heads off the ground at speed.
The show also has foot fights with merciless swords, flaming fireballs on chains and unyielding quarterstaffs. And of course the knights romantically accept favours from the ladies and fight for their honour....
With over eighteen years experience the Knights of the Damned boast the very best in jousting and medieval entertainment, and are led by stuntman Justin Pearson. See their website here
