We are on holiday from work this week so on Wednesday we went to a Medieval Joust!
 |
| Pendennis Castle |
The event was held at the glorious Pendennis Castle at Falmouth which of course is located to give the most fabulous views over the surrounding sea and land.
 |
| Falconry display |
There were falconry displays with fascinating talks about how the birds were used in days gone by, for example to catch animals to feed families for free.
 |
| Nonimus |
Music from the time was provided by the talented Nonimus Minstrels - we were so impressed we bought their CD.
 |
| The Jester |
A hilarious jester wandered around entertaining the crowds, as well as putting on a few of his own shows throughout the day.
 |
| The Joust |
And of course there were four knights taking part in three different sessions of horsemanship and skill, culminating in the joust. Incredible!
It was a fabulous day - if you get chance to go I would thoroughly recommend it!
