Legendary Joust at Eltham Palace and Gardens

About

Experience an exhilarating spectacle as four legendary knights compete for glory in the grand medieval joust. See lances shatter, feel the thunder of hooves, and hear the roar of the crowd as reputations are won and lost.

Each knight represents a character from myth or legend – The Wyvern, The Wildman, Sir Lancelot and Jason of the Argonauts. Who will be your champion?

And there’s so much more to explore. In the medieval encampment, you can meet people from the past to dig deeper into daily life in the Middle Ages.
