International Jousting Tournament

It’s tournament time again at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.  

Over the Easter bank holiday weekend, we will be welcoming international teams of knights from Germany and the USA, as well as our home-grown Royal Armouries team competing for the UK. 

This is no choreographed show of ‘black’ and ‘white’ knights in a contrived battle of good versus evil – this is full-on, all-out authentic competition with thrills and spills, victory and honour, plus plenty of pomp and pageantry. 

Medieval Easter

It's going to be an action-packed Easter at the Royal Armouries Museum, with dangerously entertaining combat demonstrations and battle stories, plus you can explore the amazing national collection of arms and armour. 

Plan your day.

There’ll be live performances, including armoured combats, and battle stories throughout the day, and you might even get the chance to handle a medieval sword. 

11am -  Talk and object handling 

12pm -  Combat 

1pm -  Battle story 

2pm -  Combat
