“This is our third Knight School event and every year the number of children wanting to attend increases. Children and adults alike love our jousting show and that’s where the idea for knight school came from and Give children a sneaky behind the scenes look at how King Arthur and his knights prepare for battle,” comments Camelot’s Marketing Manager, Sandra Dempsey.

King Arthur will be enrolling 30 children from all over the North West in this year’s Knight School. Youngsters who would like to attend simply have to write to King Arthur and tell him in no more than fifty word why they think they should be chosen for a place at Camelot’s Knight School. Parents, guardians and friends can also nominate a child they know.

King Arthurs’ ‘Knight School’ will be held on Saturday 17^th July and with limited spaces available the battle for places is expected to be fierce!
