Would your child like to design an armour for King Charles III?

The Royal Armouries have launched a competition for all primary and secondary school children to celebrate the coronation.

Children have until 2^nd July to get creative and design a new armour for the King, with three age categories and VIP tickets to our Jousting Tournament in August as a prize for each category. The overall winner will be put forward to be made into a suit of armour for His Majesty.

Children can take inspiration on how to decorate the armour from the history of King Charles' life, his personal passions, or the armour of previous Kings throughout history.

For inspiration and more information, please visit our website.

To enter schools can email their submissions to competition@armouries.org.uk or send them to:

This year Yorkshire Attractions are trialling a digital version of their much-loved voucher booklet. The booklet contains discount vouchers for a variety of attractions throughout Yorkshire. Some of the offers were for the Easter break but there are many discounts which are valid throughout the rest of the year. The booklet can be downloaded here.

Barnsley Museum is offering a range of fun family activities over the Easter holidays – the majority of these are free and entry to their sites is free of charge, and can provide warm spaces for families during the cost of living crisis. Please see the attached flyer for further details.
