Caerphilly Castle Illuminata & Banquets December 9th-11th 2011
As darkness falls, the Castle will be bathed in light for a twice nightly sound and light show. Illuminata reflects the fascinating history of this iconic stronghold.
Projected onto the castle walls of the Inner Wards, four eras in Caerphilly’s long history will be displayed from Gilbert de Clare to Llywelyn Bren, when much of the castle was destroyed, through to Hugh Despenser and Edward II and the grisly end of an English king, before moving on to the ravages of the Civil War and the castle’s subsequent restoration by Coal Baron, the Marques of Bute.
For something a little special and for those who truly want to make a night of it, there’s feasting and entertainment in the Castle’s Great Hall as the medieval banquets begin. The banquets will be held Friday, Saturday & Sunday evening following the last Illuminata showing. Tickets are priced at £30 per person booking early is recommended as numbers are limited
