Sorry to say I can't even remember what this one was called but it was a National Trust one and therefore nearly free (an additional charge is made for special events).
Never having seen a joust before, we just HAD to go (that's even MORE Merlin than yesterday!!!)
This is the man who did the announcements, probably known as the 'Lord High Overseer of Fisticuffs and Horseback Violence' or something (if not then he SHOULD be!)
There were 4 horses and riders nominally representing the north, the south, the east and the west of the country so the audience was asked to swear its allegiance to a region with shouting and cheering.
The battles were many and splintery and a great many wooden replica swords and bows and arrows were purchased, including by us for our (nearly grown up) children!
