Enjoy a jam packed blend of kids’ gallery tours, trench tales, re-enactors, face painting, soldier’s stories, family crafts, marching drills, dressing up and cookie decorating. The day also brings a delicious BBQ in the Castle grounds and a colourful mix of live music including choir performances, Pipes and Drums and a local Ceilidh band.
