Corporate / Team Building

Medieval Jousting Incentive Days have been run for the last four years and more than 4,500 people have now become "initiated" knights. Spending a day with The Knights of Middle England has been, for many, one of the most memorable days of their life!

Jousting training is at the forefront of this Medieval experience day, when corporate teams will get a taste of what it is like to dress in medieval costume and armour, take up a lance and battle it out in competitive jousting tournaments. They will be shown some of the great skills and tricks of the mounted knights, given weapons training, then mount their trusted steeds to participate in jousting workshops using their very own lance! There will also be the opportunity to train in sword fighting, archery or falconry.

As well as a thrilling and exciting event, the nature of the day allows for a range of benefits that can be transferred into the working environment such as personal boundary extension, confidence building, corporate entertainment and reward and recognition.
For corporates, the jousting arena brings a new dimension, where team skills are challenged and competitiveness is encouraged.

Each group member will be given their own Coat of Arms and a title for the day and be taken back to the days of olde, completely submerging themselves into the codes of honour and chivalry in a medieval environment.

The climax of the day is the grand "Gauntlet Challenge". Each participating knight, amidst cheering onlookers, will be marked on his performance of the skills learnt - hitting the feared "Quintaine", (man shaped spinning target), picking up targets (peasants heads) with a speared lance, sword fight routines, archery, an attempt to knock the evil and mischievous black knight from his horse and much more! Each point earned will be added to the team's score.
