Step back in time to experience a medieval tournament where knights go head-to-head to win honour and glory at Berkeley Castle.

Taking place across the spring bank holiday weekend, catch the armour-clad drama on Sunday 25 and Monday 26 May 2025, as four knights and their squires take each other on with a mix of choreographed and competitive fights.

In this tournament, anyone can win, with competitors collecting points in each round, building up to a nail-biting finale to determine the overall champion of the day.

Choose your favourite knight and cheer them on throughout the tourney, with a Marshall and compere on hand to guide you through the action.

You can even meet your hero in the knights' camp, where each warrior has their own tent to greet their fans, share stories of chivalry and secrets about medieval life.
