WHEN DO THE GATES OPEN?

The Joust opens 10am – 6pm on 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 21st and 22nd August 2027. 

The Kingdom’s campsite opens at 3pm every Friday and closes at 12pm on Monday.

For 2027, the camping dates are:

  • Friday 6th – Monday 9th August

  • Friday 13th – Monday 16th August

  • Friday 20th – Monday 23rd August

Loxwood Meadow, West Sussex, RH14 0AL.

Tickets can only be purchased through the Kingdom of Loxwood’s official website, The Joust.

If you can no longer attend, tickets may be resold or purchased securely through our official ticket exchange partner, Tixel. This service is not yet available, but we will announce when the exchange opens.

We strongly advise against purchasing tickets through unofficial third-party websites or private sellers, as we cannot guarantee their validity.

Tickets & Entry

Yes, tickets will be available to purchase on the gate, subject to availability. However, our 2026 dates sold out in advance, and therefore were unavailable on the gate, so we strongly recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

We’re rewarding our early nobles to the Kingdom! For 2027, we’re introducing three-tier pricing, with a limited number of tickets available at each price.

  • Early Bird: Adult £32 | Child £8

  • Advance: Adult £37 | Child £9

  • Final Release: Adult £42 | Child £10

Each festival day has an allocation of 500 Early Bird tickets and 1,500 Advance tickets. Once a day’s allocation sells out, tickets automatically move to the next pricing tier. Prices are based on availability rather than fixed release dates, so the earlier you secure your place in the Kingdom, the less you’ll pay!

No scrolls required! A digital ticket on your smartphone will do nicely. Simply have your QR code ready for scanning when you arrive at the gates.

Tickets are emailed as a PDF within two weeks of booking. If you haven’t received yours, please check your spam or junk folder. If you’ve created an account, you can also log in to view and download your tickets.

No exchanges or refunds are available as per our terms and conditions. Please go to our partners at Tixel for all reselling and exchanging purposes. This is subject to availability and demand. 

Yes, Carer Day Passes are available on a case by case basis. We do not offer Carer Weekend Camping Passes. Please contact info@thekingdomofloxwood.com for all carer related enquiries. Proof will be requested and we accept: 

  • Attendance Allowance Letter (AA)
  • Carers’ Allowance Letter of Award
  • Disability Living Allowance Letter
  • Personal Independence Payments (PIP)
  • Nimbus card with a plus 1
  • Hynt Card

Travel

Yes, parking is available at £5 per vehicle, with free parking for motorbikes. Spaces are limited, so we recommend booking your parking pass in advance to avoid disappointment. If you’ve purchased a Weekend Camping Pass and Tent Pitch, you get one free parking pass included with your stay.

Fear not! We offer a shuttle bus service to and from the Kingdom, with pick-up and drop-off points in Horsham and Guildford, both easily accessible by train.

Shuttle tickets must be booked in advance of travel. Spaces are limited so early booking is encouraged. 

Local taxis are available when booked in advanced, though Uber rarely ventures this far into the realm, so plan ahead.

Within the kingdom

From archery and sword school to face painting, quests, dragon shows, jesters, and jousting. There’s enchantment for every age. Children can meet characters, join workshops, and even train for knighthood. Programmes are subject to change without prior given notice. 

Without question! The thunder of hooves and clash of lances echos loudly with grand tournaments of honour and valour happening twice a day.

Not at all! Although many choose to. Dress in your finest garbs or come as you are; either way, you’ll feel part of the spectacle.

If you seek inspiration, our 2027 tale “The Loxwood Games” awaits…

Both shall be unveiled very soon. Keep watch upon our heralds (social channels).

Feasts & Fare

From tavern feasts to sweet treats and mead, the Kingdom’s bites and brews cater to all palates: including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices.  A full list will be announced in the new year.

Yes, though no dedicated picnic areas exist within the realm. You may return to your carriage (vehicle) to dine and simply request a re-entry stamp at the gate.

Yes, our licensed taverns and bars serve mead, ales, and wines. Outside alcohol is not permitted within the grounds.

No, for safety and licensing reasons. Plenty of refreshments await within.

Accessibility

Yes, with accessible parking, pathways, and toilet facilities.
Do note: the terrain is a natural meadow and woodland, so weather may affect mobility. Plan accordingly.

Absolutely! Service animals are warmly welcomed across the Kingdom.

Other Questions

For everyone’s safety, no real or bladed weapons are allowed. Replica swords must remain sheathed. Foam, wooden, or plastic props are welcome provided they’re used responsibly. When in doubt, ask a steward before entering.

Indeed! From feasts to field games, the Kingdom of Loxwood makes a memorable setting for private gatherings and corporate revels. Email info@thekingdomofloxwood.com to begin your plans.

Some traders accept card, but not all. Cashback is available at the entrance. Bring a pouch of coins to ensure no treasure escapes you.

Well-behaved hounds on leads are welcome provided they’re comfortable with horses, drums, and loud noises. Please keep them leashed and tidy up after them.

Then we dance in it! The Joust continues come rain or shine. Bring cloaks and courage only in rare, severe weather would we issue updates via our website and social scrolls.

No personal structures and large umbrellas are not permitted as they block the view of others.
