May half term at Chirk Castle and Garden

About

Step into the past, present and future at Chirk Castle this May half term.

Take on a series of fun, family-friendly challenges in the garden from 23-31 May.

Build your own den and imagine what it was like to create a home on this incredible landscape long before the castle was built beginning 1295. Then turn your attention to the present and see if you can care for nature and conservation, just like the Trust does today. Have a go at the egg and spoon race to safely deliver the eggs to the nest. Finally, look to the future by gazing up at the sky and imagining what's out there. Launch bean bags like meteorites into starry target boards.

While you're here, challenge family and friends to a game of badminton or quoits on the lawn.

Finally, continue your journey through the past, present and future in our new courtyard garden, created in collaboration with Stori Brymbo and Wrexham's science discovery centre Xplore! (Opens 23 May)
