Nothing excites like the thrill of the joust! Knights go head to head at 30kph and clash at the centre of the list!
Australia’s top jousters face off in a round robin format each day of the Festival. There are three sessions on both Saturday and Sunday. Points are accumulated to the scoring criteria, then the three highest scoring jousters will battle in the grand final on Sunday at 3pm to crown our new 2022 Moreton Bay Medieval Joust Championship champion!

There will be limited seating for this high demand spectacle!
Seats must be pre-purchased before the event at an additional fee of $5.00.
Please select your Abbey Medieval Festival entry ticket and scroll down to Add-Ons to choose your Joust session.
