Knight School (SEND session)

Brave and daring trainee knights – your castle needs you!

Design your own shields. Train like squires.

Complete noble quests and learn about medieval life through play.

This is an SEND session. SEND families are welcome at all of our sessions. We also run bookable SEND sessions for families preferring a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer people.

The activities are still free, but booking is required to manage numbers.

There are drop-in versions of this event Tuesday 4 to Friday 7 August, 11am to 3pm.

Free medieval-themed family activities at Pontefract Castle for the summer holidays.
