St. George’s Tournament is the world’s largest jousting competition that accurately recreates the world of the Middle Ages in detail. This year, the grandest event of the Times and Epochs Festival will be held for the fifth time on an especially large-scale, with knights attending from Russia, Belarus, Germany, Australia, France, Great Britain, and Canada.

The medieval warriors will test their combat skills in four disciplines.
Jousting – The knights gallop towards each other separated by a barrier, aiming to break a lance* on the enemy’s shield or knock him from his saddle.
Jousting lances are made from solid straight-grained fir and have a steel tip at the end – the impact can crush armor and send shields flying into the air.
