It was a shame we had to cancel our traditional Good Friday fair here, but the good news is we have an extra date here on Sunday 4 July
The strikingly picturesque and romantic ruins are steeped in much history, tales of bitter border warfare, romance and legend.
It is believed to be the first Castle in the UK owned and run by a local community. All the car parking charges from these events go to keeping the castle and it's grounds open to the public.
