Knights, to arms! Empress Matilda will meet you at Oxford Castle to discuss her plans to take back her throne from her usurping nephew Stephen. First, though, you'll need to train. At Knight School, young knights can learn sword handling and fighting, archery, and even some jousting techniques. At the end of their training, graduating knights will get their own sword to take home.

Prospective knights must be aged 5-10, and accompanied by a parent or guardian. All training weapons will be completely safe to handle, and Knight School is running throughout summer, so there's plenty of time to refine your tournament techniques!
