Summer of Play of Chirk Castle

Polish your armour and grab your shields as you take on the ultimate challenge at Chirk Castle’s Medieval knights' training camp this summer. Dress up like a warrior and enjoy constructing your own castle playing before climbing, balancing and weaving your way through obstacles made from straw in the field of play. Fun for all ages, there will be plenty to explore and discover, including knight’s challenges hidden throughout the bales and mini-maze. Then recharge your batteries at the rest station where you can lie back on a deck chair and get creative on our storytelling boards. On selected dates there will be led archery and fencing sessions. Fully trained knights can also look forward to returning to the castle in autumn where they will have the chance to put these new-found skills to the test in the ultimate medieval monster challenge. No visit would be complete without an exploration of the 700-year-old Medieval castle itself, with stunning gardens, preserved dungeons and state rooms fit for a king. Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
