13 August to 15th August 10am to 5pm

Join us for the ultimate in competitive historical combat as four teams, each of 12 fully armoured Knights, attempt to emerge victorious from a recreated "Crest Melee".

There can be only 1 winning team, alliances will be made and broken,as the combatants, overseen by the Knight Marshall and his Heralds, fight with shield and club to knock Crests from helmets in a genuine contest of skill and strength.

Meet the teams as they prepare for battle and take your place amongst fellow supporters! Enjoy performances of period music and visit living history encampments throughout the day.
