1 Jousting. Tickets to Arundel Castle’s tenth annual International Jousting and Medieval Tournament: Champion of Champions Edition, the world’s longest jousting tournament of its kind, are now available for purchase. From July 24-29, the Castle grounds in West Sussex will transform with a tented medieval encampment for an action-packed living history spectacular, with professional jousters representing England, Germany, Norway and Poland. Spokeswoman Carissa Christy said: “The highlight of Arundel Castle’s open season, the event promises nothing less than a true clash of the titans with plenty of fierce rivalries along the way. The honourable knights also camp on site throughout the duration of the tournament for a truly immersive medieval experience, exchanging tales from the tilt-rail each evening.” 2 Music. Four music ensembles combine to create a Summer Saturday Siesta at St Paul’s café on Saturday in Worthing, in aid of Worthing Churches Homeless Projects (WCHP). Spokesman Richard Amey said: “Romantic, chilled pop and soul from La Luna starts at 11.30am. The cappuchino smoothness of Chalumeaux Too’s clarinet quartet follows at 12.30pm. Then begins a fiesta of fun multi-instrumental folk from The Rude Mechanicals at 1.30. And into the afternoon, the cooling jazz of Liaison Trio from 2.45. This will be the popular Rude Mechanicals’ first appearance in Worthing for nearly 18 months. Founder member with Ray Chandler more than 20 years ago, Barry Ruffell borrowed the name Shakespeare bestowed upon Bottom’s comical travelling actors in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Ruffell liked its self-effacing description of a bunch of well-meaning amateurs whose endeavours reach a little further than their experience and skill.Chalumeaux Too’s light classical, jazz and blues comes from clarinettists Carol Oates, Karen Simporis, Virginia Harvey and, on the bass clarinet, Val Elliott. Liaison Trio are a long-standing Worthing jazz trio with pianist Lyndsey Lee, John Bedford on double-bass and their French drummer and percussionist Olivier Canteloube.” Olivier is a former member of the WCHP-supporting rock and pop band Outcry, who last played in 2013 and from which came La Luna, in singer Ges Gibbens and guitarist-keyboardist Richard Amey. 3 Walk.
