The Loxwood Joust
Announces the Quest for
the Crown of Loxwood
There are jousts. There are reenactments.
And then there is
Loxwood Joust, the UK’s most
spectacular immersive Medieval and
jousting festival. And the gauntlet has
been thrown down in the battle for the Crown of
Loxwood as the clash for a successor to the throne
takes place.
The thrill of the joust
In the magical Kingdom of Loxwood, you are
transported back in time to Medieval England
as you interact with townsfolk and peasants and
rub shoulders with royalty. There is full-contact
jousting, daring displays of weaponry, archery
and cannon fire and the impressive knight on
knight combat, that will be waged in the quest
for Regent.
The intrigue of the forest
You enter the realm via a magical forest, and are
met by an array of colourful characters, each
with a story to tell, rumours to spread or a favour
to ask. Accept the right invitations, choose a
quest and improve your standing from Citizen
to “Squire of Loxwood” in this unique day of
adventure, intrigue, fun and merriment.
The skills of the executioner
The Living History Village plays out life in the
Middle Ages and falconry displays, torture with
the executioner, the witches’ incantations and an
insight into the spirits of nature will capture your
imagination and draw you into times past.
A feast like no other
Experience and savour authentic recreations from
a Medieval nobleman’s salver, in the banqueting
hall. With dishes of the finest fayre served to
accommodate both traditional and vegetarian
palates; jesters, storytellers, live music and riddlers
will lead a merry dance and embroil you in gossip
and laughter.
New skills to be learnt
New for 2022 is the creation of Scribe School and
the Copper Bangle making workshops, which are
adding to the ever-popular workshop activities
such as: Handfasting ceremonies, Blacksmithing
workshops, Sword school, Copper bowl making,
Chain mail making, and Singing workshops with
the Mediaeval Baebes.
A kingdom for children
In the Children’s Kingdom, the young princes
and princesses can use their Medieval groats to try
have-a-go-archery, pelt-the-peasant, non-contact
sword fighting and circus school, in addition to
watching court jester shows and enjoying face and
wound painting too.
Who will be crowned your new
King or Queen?
With fast-paced battles and challenges that have
shaped the story’s Medieval mayhem and gallant
chilvery, visitors to the Joust - the people of
Loxwood - will be immersed in the plot to decide
who should be their King or Queen.
The Loxwood Joust is excellently located just
off the B2133 between Wisborough Green and
