The castle has some stories to tell, let your little ones and older children enjoy our tales of spooks and kooks!
Flickering candlelight transforms the castle on our ‘Castle by Lanternlight’ evening on Monday 25th October.

The evening closes with a glass of wine while you sit by the fire for more tales and chat to get you into the spirit – no pun intended! Tickets cost £20 per person. Booking essential.
