Medieval moments at Castle...

Medieval moments at Castle...Medieval moments will be on the menu when Diabetes UK take over Dudley Castle courtyard for a themed fundraising evening.

May 8th's event will see a medieval market complete with hog roast around the Black Country landmark building plus a ghost tour of the castle grounds.

There will also be a range of medieval shows and games alongside workshops and demonstrations, including bread and beer making.

Dudley Zoological Gardens Chief Executive, Peter Suddock, said: "It's good to be a partner with a national charity and help raise the profile of a very worthwhile cause and we hope to see lots of people here in the courtyard to make the event a big success."

A spokesman for Diabetes UK said: "We hope people will bring the entire family to what promises to be a very enjoyable event and help to raise much needed funds for Diabetes UK."

Medieval dress is welcomed, for the event, which will run from 6.30pm to 10pm.
