A jousting event makes a return to Cardiff this weekend for a display of the competition that emerged in popularity during the Middle Ages.

Taking place within the grounds of Cardiff Castle, the Knights of Royal England will be involved in a more friendly competition than their Medieval predecessors.

Elsewhere puppet shows, storytelling and the chance to compete in junior jousting will be available, with thousands expected to attend.

The jousting itself takes place at midday and then again at 3pm.
