Step back in time and immerse yourself in the thrill and majesty of medieval jousting at Hedingham Castle this Easter 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, learn to fight like a medieval knight and witness beautiful birds of prey flying in front of the Norman Keep. 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!
