Henry VIII's Joust at Hampton Court Palace

Saturday 18th July 2026

 

Make it a day to remember at Hampton Court Palace this July, with excitement, pageantry, and the return of Henry VIII’s Joust.

For two weekends only, step back in time and watch fearless knights clash in a thrilling tournament at the magnificent home of King Henry VIII.

Pick your family’s team of knights, cheer them on together, and follow the drama as the contest unfolds until one team reigns supreme.

Keep your eyes peeled, and you may even see the King himself taking part — rumour has it he’s keen to impress a captivating new lady at court, though it’s probably best the Queen doesn’t hear about that!

Alongside the excitement of the joust, enjoy breathtaking falconry displays and discover these majestic birds up close.
