Get into festive spirit at Lancaster Castle markets
From 10.30am to 5.30pm on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December, a colourful Christmas market will take over the castle courtyard, supported by a programme of musical entertainment and family fun.
In a first for Lancashire, Odin Events will be unveiling their new Giant Bauble in the Chapel Courtyard, giving visitors the chance of appearing in the best Christmas picture ever. And back by popular demand, is the rustic Santa’s Grotto taking place in the Well Tower workshop.
