Kingsflame is proud to welcome Destrier, the premier in modern jousting, historical reenactment, and knightly displays, to our tournament lineup! Boasting specially trained war mounts, real steel armour and weapons, and Britain's finest riders, Destrier brings 15th century knighthood into the modern day. Destrier's riders regularly compete with great success at tournaments across the globe. At the Kingsflame Festival, you can watch these real knights in shining armour demonstrate the best in soldiery and chivalry in all of Europe! Join us from 2nd-4th July, 2027 and be sure to come down to the Tournament Arena for a show you won't soon forget!

The Kingsflame festival is a celebration of over a thousand years of English history. We’ll be honouring our Celtic, Saxon, Norman and Medieval roots through storytelling, traditional crafts, the clash of steel, and enchanting performances that keep these traditions alive. And at the centre of it all stands the Kingsflame, an 8 metre tall pyre commemorating the 1100th anniversary of the founding of England, and the ancient fire that still burns in the English spirit.
