People will be able to pick a side as the houses of York and Lancaster battle it out with jousting, stunts and sword-fights in a custom-built arena event.
On May 15, The Falconer’s Quest restarted featuring the castle’s falcons, kites, vultures and other birds of prey performing aerial acrobatics over the River Avon.
Nick Blofeld, divisional director at Warwick Castle said: “We are thrilled to be bringing back the two much loved shows and once again see the delight and awe they bring to our guests.

“Set in an open-air arena, The Falconer’s Quest returned on May 15 following extensive preparations to ensure we could safely deliver everything loved about the show within government guidelines.
"Preparations to bring back The War of the Roses Live are well under way.
"It is a big undertaking and investment as a full arena is custom built for it each time, but we are excited to be able to once again delight visitors with the impressive and immersive shows we are renowned for.”
