The Australian Jousting Championship returns to Kryal Castle. Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of medieval action as brave knights compete for glory and the title of Australia's best jouster.

The tournament stays true to the Middle Ages, with knights in replica medieval armour, historical rules, and three-metre lances delivering bone-rattling hits. This truly is the world's first extreme sport. The champion will be announced immediately after the competition on Sunday 14 September.

Beyond the joust, the weekend offers plenty of medieval fun for all ages, including medieval merchants where you can visit artisans offering authentic wares from handcrafted garments to sparkling jewels. Test your aim and skill as you take a shot at hitting the bullseye while enjoying archery and axe-throwing. There are plenty of kids activities such as potion making, face painting, and more.

Extend the action and turn your visit into a full medieval adventure with a stay at Kryal Castle. Choose from Castle rooms, cosy cabins, tiny homes, or campsites.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
