SPECIAL EVENT!! There will be a professional medieaval joust at The Arthurian Centre on July 4th. Mounted horsemen will show off their skills as well as hawk displays, sword and bow skills, living history, music and story telling. Archaeologists will also be present to explain their work at Slaughterbridge. Fun for all the family. Normal entrance fees apply unless you turn up in medieaval costume in which case it is free!

This event comes towards the end of a month long celebration of ' Camelford Charter 750'. www.charter750.org ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The centre is located at Slaughterbridge near the medieval market town of Camelford (considered by some to be the site of Camelot) in North Cornwall, and set in 20 acres surrounding 'King Arthur's Stone'. Both the inscribed stone and battle are both dated by earliest stories to AD540.

Visitors can walk through the fields where King Arthur and Mordred met for their last battle.
