Northumberland's Alnwick Castle is opening for the 2024 season with a line-up of activities for all.

Starting on Good Friday, the programme's highlights include the 'Hands on History' experience, interactive alchemy lessons with 'Alchemy Jack', and longbow demonstrations.

There will also be a historic falconry show and music from the castle's 'Medieval Minstrels', Trouvere.

Catherine Neil, head of Alnwick Castle ventures, said: "We have worked hard to bring the castle’s story to life through a range of different mediums.

"Whether you are looking for family fun or wishing to learn more about the history of Alnwick Castle and the Percy family, we have something that will bring joy to people of all ages."

Other events to look forward to include the 'World War II Weekend', musical history, and a 'Heritage Weekend'.

A number of events will also relate to The War of the Roses.
