Knights on horseback will be wowing crowds with lancing jousting, falconry and medieval entertainment this weekend.

On September 19 and 20, the Knights of Royal England will return to Stonor Park, just outside Sonning Common, for a fun-packed family day out.

This follows an ‘immensely popular’ first instalment earlier this year.

Brave knights will gallop through the arena, lances at the ready, displaying their horsemanship in a clash of power and endurance.

Louisa Fifield, general manager at Stonor Park said: “Our medieval jousting event is a time-travelling journey for visitors of all ages and ignites imaginations with scenes from the past.  

“Get ready for explosions of colour as knights thunder past and the dramatic sounds of galloping hooves and clashes of lances and swords.

“The whole spectacle is exhilarating, fun and interactive, and provides an action-packed and entertaining day out for all the family.”

Falconry displays will also be taking place throughout the day, as birds swoop across the parkland whilst spectators learn about the history of falconry through the ages.

Visitors can take part on hands-on experiences from the Middle Ages including archery and axe-throwing.

Adult tickets are £14.50, while prices for children vary. For more information and to book tickets, visit: stonor.com/events/medieval-jousting-september
