Tourney Ground
 |
Rod and Michelle Walker from
Australia’s premier Jousting troupe, Full Tilt,
supported by the Emirates, will present an action packed
weekend program
of medieval colour, high drama and spectacle.
It’s too hard to imagine without being there: the sound
of hooves drumming
on the ground, the crash of thunder as two tons of man,
metal,
horse flesh and bone collide head-on;
all the pageantry of a medieval fayre!
Don’t miss the drama of this ancient ‘Sport of
Kings’.
Bring your kids to see history come alive. |

The name “The Huscarls”
comes from the name given to the elite guard of the Saxon
kings of England during part of this Viking Age. The name
was also used in parts of Scandinavia before this time.
We perform combat demonstrations, battle re-enactments and
displays of authentic crafts and games of the period. We
