These photos were taken on the Conwy Food Fest weekend. Our friends came down with the kids, I'm a Godmother don't ya know
They had bought armbands for the day and this entitled them to get in Conwy castle half price. The kids were given a little detective booklet to fill in with a pencil, the idea is based on true historical facts based around the story of Owain Glyndwr and how he tricked his way into seizing the castle. You have to find various boards located with in the castle some of which are at the top of the turrets....typical. When you have found all the clues you fill in the spaces and if correct you win a badge
It's an excellent idea. While looking for the clues I took some photos of the people in their medieval costumes. It's a shame they're not in the castle more often as the costumes, tents and furs draped over sticks really added to the atmosphere and the kids really enjoyed themselves.
