Mounted
jousting new this year at Camlann Medieval Faire
Tournaments this year at the Camlann
Medieval Faire include mounted jousting. This
feature is presented by The Seattle Knights wherein
armored knights and sturdy squires will contest
with lances, axes, sword and shield.
Trumpet fanfares will transport visitors back
to the turbulent summer of 1376, when Geoffrey
Chaucer wrote and King Edward III began his
last year upon the throne of England. Jousting
is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.
The Faire runs Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30
a.m. to 6 p.m. The leisurely rhythm of medieval
daily life can be seen, as well as musical performers,
and there are lessons on various medieval crafts
including shooting the longbow. Among demonstrations
are mortise and tenon construction done by laborers
using only period tools.
Camlann Medieval Village is located in the
Stillwater area north of Carnation at 10320
Kelly Road NE. Admission is $9 adults, seniors
(60+) and juniors (6-12) $5. Children 5 and
under are free. A free brochure/map and feast
