Showcasing baroque horse breeds that date back to the late 16th and early 18th century, visitors can journey back in time as they watch Andalusians, Lusitanos, Warlanders and Friesians in action.
Equestrians will show off their bow and arrow skills in the horse archery and the baroque horsemanship challenge, as well as in a traditional Garrocha display — where the rider uses a long pole to guide their horse during the performance.
There will also be barrel racing, breed shows and dancing horses.
To spur on the fun, there will also be an exciting range of family-friendly activities across the castle grounds, including baroque market stalls, music, archery and axe throwing, maypole dancing and face and rock painting.
Kryal Castle’s Knights and Wizards schools will also be running, and there will be food and other refreshments available.
