Demonstrations will be held including bow and gun displays, falconry and a medieval artillery showcase.

Living history groups and individual interpreters will be at the castle to showcase historical crafts such as forging, cooking and leatherwork.

Visitors can also take part in activities such as axe throwing, archery, crossbows and crafting.

Throughout the bank holiday weekend, live music will be played and there will be a "battle" especially for children.

Andrew Lewis, castle manager, said: "The Festival of History is a wonderful celebration of human and cultural heritage.

"We're thrilled to invite visitors to explore the rich tapestry of history that is perfectly showcased within the castle grounds.

"From thrilling demonstrations to immersive experiences, this event promises to be a real highlight for the family calendar."
