About
Blenheim Palace's annual jousting tournament returns for the early-May bank holiday weekend, Saturday 1 to Monday 3 May 2027 — three days of full-contact jousting on the South Lawn arena between horseback knights in full plate. Between joust bouts: armoured foot combat, longbow displays, a hand-to-hand grappling tournament and falconry demonstrations.
The Tudor encampment fills the parkland behind the arena — living-history re-enactors demonstrating the crafts, drills and daily life of the Tudor era. Tickets include full access to the formal gardens and the palace state rooms for the day. Dates derived from the annual pattern; organiser to confirm.
