The historic site will play host to a “Knight School” and a special circus skills workshop as part of a national spring programme from Cadw, welcoming families from across the region.

Kidwelly Castle will be transformed on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29, with “Juggling Jim” leading the hands-on fun for all ages.

Young explorers can take part in three light-hearted challenges at the Knight School between 11am and 1pm to complete their training.

From 1.30pm, the focus will shift to circus skills, with visitors given the chance to try their hand at juggling, diabolo, and plate spinning in the castle grounds.

The fun continues from Monday, March 30, with a week-long “Easter Quiz” trail that invites everyone to explore the fortress in a whole new way.

Participants will have to hunt for hidden Easter characters and unscramble a secret word to claim a special prize at the gift shop.

Kate Roberts, Chief Executive of Cadw, said: “The Easter break is a brilliant opportunity for families to explore the remarkable history that surrounds them.”

She added: “We’ve designed a varied and engaging calendar of events that encourages visitors to get outdoors and connect with Welsh heritage.”

Cadw has also confirmed that children go free with any adult membership, offering extra value for those planning multiple days out this spring.
