So, Apley is a local farm shop with and indoor soft play area, cafe, some local shops and a bit of an animal farm with donkey rides. The cafe does some lovely food and they hold some nice craft fairs there. They also offer a cookery club, photography course and more. Take a look at their website: Apley Farm Shop
So onto the Jousting Fair, we arrived at 11am in time for the morning's schedule of displays which were then repeated in the afternoon. The lurcher display was on in the main ring which I took part in with Rum and let's just say, he won't be joining their team any time soon! We walked round the stalls and displays - circus tricks the children (and adults) could have a go at, archery and sword fighting they could also give a go, finally donkey rides.
There was a display by Ben Potter with his eagles and vultures which was amazing.
Finally what everyone was waiting for, on came Knights of the Damned Jousting Stunt Team.
They were amazing and it was well worth watching, just wish it could have lasted longer!
The only thing I would say is we couldn't have a proper photo with Mike the Knight as it was a bit of a free for all. Lots of food available including a lovely Hog Roast (my favourite). All in all a great day out!!
