ABERGAVENNY Castle has come up with an innovative idea to keep children interested in learning the history of the castle.
It is offering special free backpacks for families containing replica artefacts such as a leather tankard, items to try on, including chain mail, and historic games such as quoits to play.
There are laminated information sheets explaining the history of the castle, and binoculars to help children look at architectural features.
Children will also find activity sheets, crayons, clipboards and pencils, to record their findings.
The backpacks are free to use, although users are required to leave a small security deposit.
For further information call 01873 854282, visit abergavennymuseum.
