THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our fantastic afternoon at the incredible Dundonald Castle last Thursday! 🏰✨

We had an amazing afternoon trying out some truly unique experiences. From crafting medieval remedies in the Apothecary Session and getting up close with stunning birds during Meet the Owls, to trying our hand at Sword Fighting Instruction and exploring the rich history on the Guided Museum & Castle Tour—there was never a dull moment! 🦉⚔️🌿

After all the excitement, the team at the Visitors Centre cafe treated us to a gorgeous afternoon tea spread☕🍰

Thank you once again to the wonderful team at Dundonald Castle for hosting us.
