Dover Castle's Children's Festival at Easter 2016

by Emma Grafton-Williams

CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL

DOVER CASTLE

Good Friday to Easter Monday

Go on a journey back in time at historic Dover Castle this Easter. Peterkin the Jester, Roman gladiators, medieval knights and princesses will all be greeting visitors across the holiday weekend. You can also meet Victorian toymakers and youngsters can make own toy to take home.

If your little soldiers want something with a bit more edge, see if they can tackle the Second World War assault course or diffuse the bomb in time.

Elsewhere around the castle be amazed at Peterkin’s fire eating show on stilts and join in sing-a-long with the merry musicians.

If you want to escape the cute bunnies and the chocolate trails this is the Easter event for you. All in all it's a fun-packed, refreshing day of time travel for kids of all ages!

Known as the ‘key to England’, Dover Castle has played a crucial role in the defence of the country for over nine centuries
