Pengersick Castle at Praa Sands is to re-open its gates to the public for the first time in four years this bank holiday.

The Pengersick Historic and Education Trust is inviting people into the castle and grounds on Monday, August 26, giving them a chance to view the improvements to the gardens, including the award-winning Medieval Garden, and see plans for the Angela Evans Memorial Tudor Knot Garden.

The Medieval Garden, designed by Dan McLaughlin, provides an education resource, linking living history with education, and has been used by various local schools and so reinforcing the original purpose of the Pengersick Historic and Education Trust.

Visitors on Monday will be able to stroll around the four acres of garden, take a tour of the Tudor tower, described as the most haunted location in the UK, see the progress made in repairing/restoring the castle and learn more of the Trust’s plans for further stages of the renovation.

Entry on Monday will cost £4 for adults and £2.50 concessions and Friends of Pengersick, with family tickets also available at a cost of £10 for two adults and two children. The site will be open between 10am and 4pm and there will be refreshments available and a variety of stalls to view.
