The 2025 season brings exciting new additions and lots of returning favorites! Scarborough is thrilled to welcome a sensational new joust troupe to the Festival – Hanlon-Lees Action Theater. Since 1979, Hanlon-Lees has provided their 14th Century style show with colorful costumed steeds and noble knights in shining armour brandishing authentic weapons to keep the spectacle ablaze on horseback and on foot with action & romance. It’s definitely a must see!
