Knights are preparing themselves for battle at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland this summer and families are invited to share in the action.
As a treat during the upcoming school holidays, the Alnwick attraction will be hosting a Knights Week from August 4 which promises to be a visual spectacular with, besides those valiant knights, plenty of magnificent horses and princesses.
Running until August 10, the medieval-style week, celebrating the age of chivalry, will see the knights ride into the castle for action.
Visitors will be able to witness how war horses were prepared for battle and for jousting and see displays of dressage and training.
Huge Spanish horses and their riders will be performing daily at 11am, 1pm and 3pm during the week.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a host of activities including trying on authentic reproduction medieval armour or princess dresses and crowns, and also archery and they can also learn about the armour and weapons and watch English longbow demonstrations.
