The Queen's Joust

2025 Dates: May 24 - 26

Official Description

Join us at Leeds Castle for our medieval jousting event this May bank holiday for an exhilarating display of combat and action, elegant and unusual equestrian, and medieval living and feasting.

Gasp as lances crash, cheer for your champion, and watch as England, France, and Norway battle for the coveted cup—and the queen’s favour. If you’re looking for things to do in Kent with a dramatic twist, we’ll see you in the crowd.

In true jousting event tradition, victory isn’t guaranteed by skill alone. If the queen deems a knight unworthy, she may choose another. Armor, charm, and honor all play their part. You just need to provide the applause.
