The ever-popular Spectacular Jousting event is set to return to Caerlaverock Castle on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 July. Historic Environment Scotland (HES) invites visitors to experience thrilling horsemanship and the impressive skills of courageous knights as they take to the arena. With action-packed jousting, living history camps to explore and entertainment from falconry displays, plus a brand-new squire school where visitors can learn what it takes to be a squire for a noble knight, the event offers a host of activities to engage with our heritage in an exhilarating way.
Spectacular Jousting will take place at Caerlaverock Castle from 11am to 4pm on both days.
Advance booking required to guarantee entry. Tickets can be bought in advance online at alittlehistory.scot/spectacular-jousting and are free for Historic Scotland members.
