| Jousting Displays
The Knights of Arkley providing a high
quality and well choreographed jousting displays for entertainment
for all ages.
Jousting is contested by armoured competitors ready for
combat
namely Knights, riding horses and each competition consists
of two riders. The Knights then compete in martial combat
using various weapons that consist of a lance, battleaxe or
sword. The Knights aim to wound or knock down their opponent
using these weapons and in the middles ages jousting
displays were a form of sport and valued very high in regard
by royalty and enjoyed by village people who would gather in
mass to watch a competition.
At the Knights of Arkley we have built up a long standing
reputation of delivering high performance and outstanding
shows, and this we are very proud of, our jousting
displays are now a long established and popular form of
entertainment that features six very brave and determined Knights
whose goal is to provide their audience with a spectacular show that will
leave the audience asking for more after bearing witness to
a truly remarkable event.
With our costume and scenery taking the shape of a
traditional middle age setting, you could almost be forgiven
for believing that these times were the present day. We take
great pleasure in transforming your arena into a middle age
fest and extravaganza, this helps capture the imagination of
all those who come to witness what middle age competition
and entertainment was all about.
Our performers and Knights have show cased their talents at many
of the great stages throughout
Britain and Europe delighting audiences with their jousting
displays. Dressed
in true medieval style both the competitors taking stage
with their horse, pit themselves against each other in
courageous competition including the Skill at Arms and then
as they grasp a firm hold of
their lance and shield they proceed to joust along the tilt.
Our jousting displays also feature their own
commentator and music further aiding the true visualisation
of a time that has long since past. For further details on our displays or any other service
we provide, please feel free to contact us where a member of
are friendly team is always happy to help.
