Chivalry is alive
and well in Australia!
These superb performers have a lengthy background as
professional jousters, educators and one as a Stunt
Artist for Film and Television internationally. They've
produced this unique show for use in a wide range of social
occasions. From corporate themed events through to a truly
breath- taking arrival for the bride and groom at their
wedding ceremony or reception.
Festival and Easter show displays
Highly skilled in the art of weaponry from the Medieval
through to Elizabethan eras the Nova Hollandia Knights
can offer sword fighting,
mounted melee, skill at arms as well as spear and lance
skill displays.
Skill at arms show 30 minutes
Jousting display 30 minutes
Jousting Tournaments
Dress your guests in either Medieval era clothes (think King
Arthur, the Lady of Shalot, Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, The
Crusades...) or Elizabethan era (Elizabeth the first, King
Henry VIII, Black Adder, Shakespeare...) and bring them in
for a fully themed day or night of fun.
Divide your guests into groups so they can cheer for their
own knight of the realm.
With a scarf from the lady of the court (your most important
lady guest or hostess) they're off at a gallop, plummeting
towards each other with those huge jousting lances aimed at
the chest.
You'll be surprised how little room they need to perform...
about 60 metres length by 10 metres across the jousting
area. Guests can stand behind a cordoned barrier about 10
metres away down the full length of the jousting field so
they can feel the ground shake as the horses gallop by,
visualise themselves in the place of those brave knights and
watch the jousting lances splinter on impact. It's a truly
thrilling experience!

and mounted martial arts skill.
