Party time for knights and princesses

The Ribble Valley will hold two events for aspiring young knights and princesses in August.

Families are invited to a 'Noble Knights and Powerful Princesses' party at Clitheroe Castle.

The events will take place on Tuesday 4 August and Tuesday 25 August from 5.30pm to 7.30pm and are suitable for children aged six to 10.

Rachel Jackson, Lancashire County Council's museum manager at Clitheroe Castle, said: "Each event should be a fun night out for families with young children.

"There will be lots of activities to keep the young ones entertained including a treasure hunt, which is always really popular.

"Children can also learn how to be a knight and even take a Knight School test and listen to our superb storyteller.

"There will be prizes for the best costumes for those who have really added to the atmosphere and come along dressed up for the part."

Tickets cost £2.50 each for adults and children which includes admission, and a drink and snack for children from the Atrium café.

Limited disabled parking is available at the museum. Parking is also available on car parks in the town centre.
