Jousting access
Entry to the Joust is by token purchase only. The booth
for tokens is located in the centre of the Festival
grounds opposite the Castle
green. There are three
jousts each day and tokens can only be purchased for one
day. Once the allotted number of places are filled, that
joust is closed to the public. Two gold coins ($2)
purchases a seat in the grandstands with other noble
guests; one gold coin ($1) a standing place with the
peasants.
Credit Card Facilities
Credit Card facilities for ticket purchase are available at
the Festival's Tournament gates. Cash out is ONLY available from the
Museum Shop and Museum Information Centre inside the
festival grounds.
Disabled Access
The Tournament ground is relatively flat, but for the first
year walkways will be only gravel or grass. There is a drop-off point
for elderly or disabled people about 70 metres from the
Festival entrance.
Safety
The Festival organisers do their best to ensure your safety.
All official events are designed for the safety of the
public. Stallholders are not allowed to sell unpackaged
weapons. All our re-enactors undergo rigorous training
before being allowed to carry weapons. Please read CONDITIONS OF ENTRY
before bringing weapons to the Festival. Please observe the
venue barriers for your own safety.
First Aid
St John Ambulance is on location during the day at the
Festival Ground. |
Lost children
The Tournament is such a safe family event that parents
often misplace their children. Please help us make your day
anxiety-free by writing your mobile phone number on your
child’s wrist band.
