It’s tournament time again at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.  

Over the Easter bank holiday weekend, we will be welcoming international teams of knights from Germany and the USA, as well as our home-grown Royal Armouries team competing for the UK. 

This is no choreographed show of ‘black’ and ‘white’ knights in a contrived battle of good versus evil – this is full-on, all-out authentic competition with thrills and spills, victory and honour, plus plenty of pomp and pageantry. 

Our highly skilled knights will compete in full armour, showcasing their horse-riding abilities and courage. The thud of hooves and cheers of the crowd will once more resound from the purpose-built outdoor arena at the Royal Armouries in Leeds as the teams battle it out for honour and trophies. 

As well as the tournament shows there will be a packed programme of combat demonstrations, dramatic performances and have-a-go activities throughout the weekend.  

Tickets for the International Jousting Tournament start at £5 and are expected to sell out. Your tickets also include entry to the Royal Armouries Museum.
