CHIRK Castle is set to embark on an exciting summer adventure as it looks to make its very own fortress - made entirely from straw.

The National Trust property has already seen the delivery of more than 240 large straw bales, which will be ingeniously transformed into a colossal 70m x 70m low-level adventure straw castle.

Visitors of all ages can anticipate an immersive experience as they climb, explore, and engage their senses within this captivating structure.

The castle promises to ignite the imagination and provide endless opportunities for fun and adventure.

A spokesperson for Chirk Castle said: “Within the straw fortress lies four unique play zones where you can discover different ways to play, be active, engage your senses and have fun.

“Get close to nature as you build dens and try your balance along an obstacle course, then use your imagination to transport yourself back to Medieval Chirk through costume and roleplay.

“Let your creativity flow and take a moment to relax in the sensory zone, before trying your hand at building your very own fortress in the construction zone.”

The unveiling of the adventure straw castle on July 22 marks the beginning of Chirk Castle's much-anticipated Summer of Play, proudly sponsored by Starling Bank.

This unique play area is designed to offer a safe and engaging space for children and families to embrace their sense of wonder.

As they navigate the straw castle's pathways, ascend the turrets, and delve into its nooks and crannies, participants will be transported into a realm of imaginative play.
