SPECTATORS can choose their champion as noble knights face each other in the field when Spectacular Jousting returns to Caerlaverock Castle from 12.30pm this Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors can watch the fearless knights battle it out in a daring display of skill and horsemanship.
The event allows an exploration of the sights and sounds of medieval life. In the medieval encampment, meet soldiers, visit the horses in their stables, have a go at archery and see falcons flying overhead.
Gillian Urquhart, events manager at HES, said: “Spectacular Jousting is one of our best loved family-friendly events.
“Visitors will feel as though they have been transported back to the Middle Ages under the backdrop of the picturesque Caerlaverock Castle.”
Tickets cost £12 for adults, £10 for concessions, £7 for children and under-fives go free.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
