Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the world and it’s right on your doorstep, five miles southeast of Maidstone and only one-hour’s drive from London. It makes for the perfect family day out with The Maze, the Bird of Prey Centre with Falconry Shows, Adventure Golf and the playgrounds including a wooden replica of the Castle with climbing walls, fireman’s poles, giant cargo nets and zip wires – just for starters.

Plus a year-round calendar of events and coming up very soon on Sat 25 May is The Queen’s Joust, it’s an exhilarating display of combat and action, elegant and unusual equestrian, and medieval living and feasting.

Gasp at the first crash of lances, cheer as your favourite knight gallops past, and watch as England and France not only battle for the coveted cup, but more importantly, for the honour and attention of the queen.

As in English jousting history, no matter if you win the joust, if the queen doesn’t deem you as the worthy winner, she’ll choose someone else. A knight’s armour and demeanour may just win them her hand… It’s not all based on skill and combat.

That’s not all, get ready to escape to the glorious Kent countryside for an unforgettable weekend away at Leeds Castle. The night before The Joust event on Fri 24 May, enjoy a one-night stay at Knights’ Glamping. Sleep in luxury in one of eight of their splendid striped pavilions, sleeping up to 2 adults and 2 children.

Enjoy a four-poster bed, cosy electric flame effect stove, crisp cotton bedding and snug furry throws. But the real luxury is not having to bring any special camping kit with you, just food for your evening feast.

Plus a short stroll from the campsite, up the garden path to nearby Knight’s Cottage, guests are provided with the use of shower and washing facilities.
