This summer, your family could win free tickets to the spectacular joust events taking place at Pendennis Castle.

Witness battling knights on horseback, jovial jesters and stunning displays of falconry in the historic setting of one of Henry VIII’s greatest fortresses. Jousting on horseback and armed with a lance, the knights will represent the north and south as they fight to prove their superior power and chivalrous skills.

As well as experiencing the thrills and spills of an authentic joust, spectators will be able to make merry with a feast of medieval entertainments and treats. Another ‘sport of kings’ will be explored within the castle grounds – and in the air above – as Falconers demonstrate the power of some impressive birds of prey.

The Grand Medieval Jousts at Pendennis Castle take place on July 29 and 30 as well as August 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20.

Family tickets are £21.60 for two adults and up to three children.
