Hever Castle Jousting

Back in August, we spent the day over at Hever Castle. This wasn’t a usual visit to the castle, as the day was also one of the series of jousting tournaments. We expected this to be something a little different, but were really impressed by what a great event it turned out to be, and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely a return visit next year.

The tournament itself had plenty of great photography opportunities, but if you do ever go along, get into the arena area nice and early; we were there about 30 mins before the tournament started, and were still a couple of rows back, which resulted in me having a rope in my field of view for every shot (that’s the grey line you can see across the middle of all the jousting photos!)
