May 2025 offers visitors to Blenheim Palace an opportunity to experience bygone times as the UNESCO World Heritage Site transforms into an action-packed battlefield for its annual Jousting Tournament, replete with The Knights of Middle England.
The Jousting Tournament will be taking place over the Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday, May 3rd, to Monday, May 5th, 2025, between 10 am and 5 pm. On these days, visitors will be able to experience the sights, sounds, and excitement of a medieval battlefield with old English traditions featuring knights, noble steeds, archery, falconry, Living History, and many more immersive experiences.
For 2025, the Jousting Tournament will be centred around two stunning locations within the Palace grounds;
The Walled Garden will transport guests to a living-history medieval camp, where they can immerse themselves in the daily lives of knights, squires, and artisans.
The South Lawn will be the centre of all the action, hosting the main joust alongside captivating falconry displays, archery demonstrations, interactive jester performances, and engaging workshops for all ages.
Entry to the Jousting Tournament is included with a valid Palace & Gardens Ticket or Palace and Play Pass, which grants access to both Blenheim Palace and Adventure Play for a whole year, making it excellent value for families visiting to enjoy all that Britain’s Greatest Palace has to offer.
Watch behind-the-scenes highlights from last year’s Jousting Tournament highlights on My5 to whet your appetites.
A Palace and Play Pass is available for £165 for a family of four (two adults and two children), and individual day passes are available at £51 per adult and £41 per child.
As part of Blenheim Palace’s commitment to accessibility, Mobiloo will be on site on Sunday, May 5th, and BSL-signed Joust performance times will be confirmed by the palace shortly.
