VIDEO: Loxwood Joust two-day medieval festival
The event’s theatrical jousting competition and main event told a family-friendly tale of good against evil featuring slapstick humour and adult quips by the MC, who chided naughty knights.
Crowds could be seen moving between the start and end of events which included educational tents with temporal characters telling their stories, comical stage performances and a number of medieval personalities wandering the festival’s seven contained meadows.

He added: “The children come here with their mouths wide and eyes open and we give them an amazing spectacle with the knights, horses, and other characters.
“As someone who work in entertainment, it’s always great to do something with a buzz which people enjoy.”
