Castell Dinas Brân – A Journey through Time, with Free Family Activities
Families will have the chance to experience a rich slice of Llangollen history this July.
Join ‘Our Picturesque Landscape’ for a day of family fun to go back intime to discover the history of Castell Dinas Brân through the ages.
The event will be a celebration of how the historic landscape has attracted visitors to be inspired by the beautiful Dee Valley in art and poetry for centuries and will showcase the project’s important restoration work that has taken place over the last few years.
Alongside the historic ruins at the summit of the hill, two of the main tourist attractions from centuries past were a Victorian tearoom and a Camera Obscura, allowing visitors to view the outstanding landscape from this ingenious structure. The Our Picturesque Landscape project will be showcasing its very own portable camera obscura on the day, alongside a Victorian sweetshop.
Visitors will also find plenty of family friendly activities including portraits with a vintage camera, friendly donkeys, drop-in and bookable art workshops, immersive actors and traditional games.
The event is on Saturday 1st July from 12 – 4 PM at the Castell Dinas Brân ‘Pancake’.
