This Easter holiday, brace yourselves for an uproarious adventure with measly medieval knights and outrageous outlaws, as you join the Knights of Leeds Castle for a mission of utmost urgency – not the egg hunt but sieging Leeds Castle by order Queen Isabella of France.

King Edward II granted Leeds Castle to the troublesome nobleman, Badlesmere. One day, Queen Isabella of France arrives at the Castle seeking rest and refuge but is denied access over the causeway by Badlesmere’s wife… how dare they!

Fancy being knighted in a day and helping Queen Isabella reclaim her Castle? Let the Dark Knights of Leeds Castle guide you on a leisurely, yet horribly historic, trail. Inspired by the bestselling Horrible Histories books written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown, published by Scholastic.

Do you dare to channel your inner knight? Join the ranks as you prepare for this legendary quest through the grounds. First you’ll need to create your very own knightly kit and skills – a crest, a shield, swaggering swordplay and buckets of bravery. Be prepared for a whole lot of helmet hair to drive you potty!
