Upcoming Events
Darkest Muncaster
26 Oct 2008 - 30 Dec 2008
SPECTACULAR...
Usually Muncaster closes its gates at dusk, and visitors only see the splendid gardens during daylight hours.
However, as night time approaches the gardens take on a completely different persona, particularly as there is little residual light from anywhere else to disturb the sheer darkness that is Darkest Muncaster.
Christmas Card Design Competition
10 Nov 2008 - 3 Dec 2008
Children across the country are being asked to help create a giant illuminated Christmas Card as part of our Victorian Christmas celebrations.
We're looking for 10 card designs which can be transformed into a display on the Castle walls as part of the festive light show.
The competition is open to 5 to 11 year olds who want the chance to show off their creative flair.
