🏇 Don’t Miss the Action as the jousters battle it out on the main arena of the Berry showground.
The jousters, protected by armour, will charge at each other, separated by a barrier aiming to strike the opponent's shield or helmet with a long lance. If they hit their target, the lance shatters as they thunder past each other. Come and see for yourself.
“Get your tartan on and come along”.
The Berry Celtic Festival 23rd of May, Berry Showground N.S.W. Don’t miss the spectacular street parade starting at 9.30am.
