For families, the school holidays offer a welcome break from the busy hustle and bustle of term time. It can also be an opportunity to have a day out somewhere new or exciting to keep the kids entertained.
Glamis Castle has the perfect family day out just when it’s most needed - the final weekend of the Easter break. On Sunday 16th April from 10am-4pm, the historic Angus-based visitor attraction is hosting a Spring Family Fun Day.
With the dramatic backdrop of a centuries old castle, the Spring Family Fun Day has something to entertain everyone, young and old.
For those looking for a thrill, Glamis has invited the Team Challenge Company to offer visitors an array of fun outdoor activities. There will be segways, laser clay pigeon shooting, inflatable chip shot golf, gladiator dualling, a steeplechase assault course and a jungle zoo inflatable for the kids to enjoy.
As well as activities from the Team Challenge Company, there will be lots for the children to explore including nature workshops from Happily Ever After Arts, sand art, a pet parade, face painting and a Children’s Foraging Workshop from Natasha Lloyd at Gathering Nature.
As well as all these activities, there will be a diverse range of market stalls for visitors to pick up some keepsakes, from delicious bites and drinks from local food producers Artisana Brownies, Mearns Chilli Jam and Carnoustie Distillery to gifts from Pens of Distinction and Collar and Fleece.
Inside the castle, the Castle Kitchen Restaurant will be open with a freshly prepared table d’hote menu and a delectable choice of exquisite Afternoon Tea options. Outside, visitors can pick up a tasty treat from Casa di Gelato, Magic 5 Pizza and Angus, Grill and Larder.
Steven Cumming, General Manager at Glamis Castle, said:
“We are delighted to be hosting a Spring Family Fun Day during the Easter holidays. There’s so much to enjoy at the event for all ages and hope many families will come along and mark the end of the school holidays with some quality time together while having a lot of fun!”
