That’s because the museum is hosting an authentic medieval jousting tournament across the Easter Bank Holiday.
From April 3 to April 6, the International Jousting Tournament will see highly-skilled knights from Poland and Portugal, as well as the UK, battle it out for honour and trophies.
The sold-out event features all the classic pomp and pageantry from a joust including armour, horses, and a rapturous crowd.
Here are 15 smashing photos from the tournament so far.
