THE
TOURNAMENT
 Tournée
shows provide both education and entertainment ranging from school
demonstrations to all day spectaculars.
The
content of the shows can be tailored to suit your needs and budget.
Show content can include acting, archery, single combats and of
course the main tournament where fully armoured knights of the fourteenth
century fight for the honour of opposing political factions.
 All
members of Tournée have a wealth of experience in re-enactment
with an understanding of history rarely seen outside of the academic
world.
Information
and entertainment are the two watchwords of Tournée. We wish
to bring the past back to life and show key elements of the Grand
Tournaments that were so popular in medieval England.
 Demonstrations
on how the armour is worn and the reasons for the evolution of different
styles of armour always prove popular. The squires of Tournée
come into their own during these demonstrations, the knights being
unable to equip themselves in their armour without assistance. Combat
techniques using a variety of weapons have both an educational and
a furious entertainment for old and young alike.
All
of the equipment has been carefully researched and is as accurate
as possible given the availability of materials and considerations
to health and safety
