A fight at The Tower

The speed and agility of Queen Elizabeth I's brave knights is legendary, as is their chivalry.

Kids can witness it first-hand as soldiers in full Tudor war gear explain their weapons (swords, daggers, rapiers, pikes) and fighting techniques.

The fighting is on the south lawn four times a day. An enlightening history lesson for bloodthirsty little blighters.
