FAMILIES are being invited to take on a festive adventure at a Cheshire castle.

From now until January 2, the popular Christmas Adventure Quest is back at Beeston Castle, near Tarporley.

Visitors will be able to learn fun facts and discover untold stories about the castle while finding clues dotted around the grounds.

Ella Harrison, events manager at English Heritage, said: “This is going to be a lovely event for everyone and we can’t wait for it to start. 

"Wrap up warm and gather clues all whilst learning about the festive period at our properties.

"Our shops are open for some wonderful last minute Christmas gifts and we’ve also got catering covered with snacks and treats including marshmallows and mulled wine on offer.

"We are expecting this to be a popular event so do book in advance.”

The adventure quest runs on weekends from now until December 23 and then daily from December 26 to January 2.
