A historic castle has announced two summer holiday events.

Arundel Castle will be hosting History Days on August 8 and August 15 for families and people of all ages.

The events will take visitors on a journey back in time by giving them glimpses of different historical periods.

This will involve interactions with historical figures, a chance to try activities such as axe-throwing, and live entertainment with musicians.

The castle will have face painting stands for children and a "Kids Battle".

Moat tours will be running throughout the day and people will be able to watch weapons demonstrations.

Those with tickets can enjoy food and drink from the castle facilities or take their own picnics to share in the grounds.

Andrew Lewis, castle manager, said: "The History Days provide a great value day out and the perfect chance to create lasting memories with the family during the school summer holidays.

"Our wide selection of informative experiences and have-a-go activities will entertain all ages, and there is ample space for children to explore within the castle’s beautiful grounds and gardens.”

Tickets for the History Days are £15 per adult and £7 for a child to include the grounds and activities.

To include entrance to the castle, tickets are £27 per adult, £12 for a child and £66 for a family ticket.

Children under five go free.

A spokesman for the castle said: "Visitors can travel back in time and explore different historical periods as soon as they enter the beautiful castle grounds.

"Expect interactions with various historical figures, including a Norman knight, a pirate and a medieval knight.

"Those who want to get stuck in can try a range of historical pastimes, including axe throwing, crossbows, and warrior training, or creatives can also find themselves engrossed in the craft tent."
