You can hear the thunder of hooves and the clashing of lances, as the Knights do battle on horseback.
Jousting has been one of the real hits with Berry Celtic Festival goers in recent years and is full of excitement, and the heavily armoured noble Knights are bound to once again put on a great show for the crowd.
In this, the festival's 14th year, the focus is on Welsh Celtic traditions.
A feature of the day will be the 30 strong Sydney Welsh Choir singing a medley of traditional Welsh tunes.

The choir has sung in some of the great performance venues in Sydney and around the world.
You can enjoy the sights and sounds of massed bands, traditional music, highland dancing, enchanted singing, and of course, the battles of medieval knights resplendent in shining armour re-living battles in hand to hand combat and demonstrating their skillful swordplay.
There will be eight pipe bands performing, including the state and national title award winning band The Sydney Thistle Highland Pipe Band.
The day begins at 9.30am with the grand parade within Berry Showground featuring all of the pipe bands marching in their distinctive kilts, together with representatives of the Clans, medieval knights, and Scottish Terrier dogs.
A full day of family-friendly entertainment follows.
