What is jousting?
Jousting was a medieval sporting competition where knights on horseback charged towards each other using long wooden lances while attempting to strike their opponent’s shield or armour. Originally developed as military training for mounted knights, jousting later became one of the most popular tournament sports across medieval Europe.
Modern jousting entertainment recreates these historic tournaments using specially trained horses, professional performers, authentic costumes, and choreographed combat sequences designed for live audiences. While the performances maintain the visual spectacle and excitement of traditional jousting, modern safety procedures are carefully followed throughout the displays.
Jousting remains extremely popular at festivals and outdoor events because it combines speed, danger, horses, armour, and theatrical presentation in a highly visual format that naturally attracts large crowds.
The Knights of Albion performances bring this historic tradition to life through exciting arena displays suitable for visitors of all ages attending UK outdoor events and festivals.
