THE EXPERIENCE

ENTER A MAGICAL KINGDOM

Where you’ll be transported back to times of Olde to revel in the annual jousting festival of Loxwood! Mingle with the medieval townsfolk, Lords and Ladies, (or even the Witch Wizard of the Enchanted Woodland) as the story of the people of Loxwood reveals itself in every encounter.

MARVEL AT THE MEDIEVAL

Meander (mead-in-hand, should you wish) through the four quarters of the Loxwood Meadow. Be spellbound by performances from world-renowned artists and mystics in the Enchanted Woodland. Gain long-lost skills under the experienced guidance of talented craftspeople in the Makers’ Market and learn a thing or two about a bow and arrow in the Royal Quarter.

WITNESS THE WILD

Wonder at full-contact jousting, falconry displays, daring displays of weaponry, torture with the executioner, archery and cannon fire as armoured knights meet in thunderous battle in the main arena and battlefield.

LEARN THE SKILLS OF OLDE

From swordsmanship to scribing, copper bowl making to chainmail, there’s a craft to suit one and all, taught by masters of their trade.

DINE ON GLUTTONOUS FEASTS

Delight in banquets overflowing with meats, fruits and all of the fresh faire of the fiefdom as the plot reveals itself around you. Or enjoy cuisine from around the world in the outdoor food quarter. In Loxwood, citizens thrive with full bellies and fuller hearts.

EMBRACE TRADITION

Wander the Living History Village, where inhabitants live and work exactly as they would have in the Middle Ages. Pursue traditional wares in the medieval marketplace, where traders, food merchants and hawkers vie for your attention and wandering minstrels, dance troupes and a court jester entertain throughout the day.
