Darkest Muncaster 2008

General Event

On many winter evenings there's no need to scuttle off home once darkness approaches. Why? Darkest Muncaster turns the dark evenings into a magical winter experience. The mile-long illuminated trail transforms the trees and shrubs into an enchanted garden, spooky on misty nights, sparkly in the rain and just wonderful on clear, frosty evenings. Dress up warm, wear sensible shoes and stay on after dark or come especially for some fresh air and enjoy Muncaster in an entirely new light. Colour changing lights ripple beautifully around the Ghyll below the castle, while projected shows play across the front face of the Grade I Listed building.
