According to the event’s website, Loxwood Joust is described as the UK’s “most spectacular immersive medieval and jousting festival”.

“Step back in time to experience the verve and vigor of a world where lives were harsh and hearts were full of passion at this unique, fun and educational day out for all the family,” reads the description.

Last year, Hardy was a surprise competitor at a charity jiu-jitsu competition in Wolverhampton, where he managed to win two gold medals.
