Create Your Own Castle Workshop - Ardgillan Castle

Join us at the beautiful Ardgillan Castle for a special children’s creative workshop during National Heritage Week 2025! This engaging event celebrates this year’s theme, Exploring Our Foundations, inviting young minds to step back in time and imagine the rich history beneath their feet.

Through fun and imaginative activities, children will explore what it took to build and maintain this magnificent heritage property, from the people who shaped it to the stories that have echoed through its halls for centuries. Together, they’ll consider what Ardgillan Castle has meant to the local community across generations and how its legacy continues today.

Participants will have the chance to express their ideas by creating and customising their own castle — all while discovering the magic of the castle and its stunning surroundings. This workshop encourages curiosity, creativity, and a deeper connection to our shared heritage, promising an unforgettable day of learning and fun.

Perfect for young history enthusiasts and budding artists alike! (Children 8yrs+)
