After award winning tours in GDODF 2019, The Village Storytelling Centre returns to take over Crookston Castle.
It is 1849 and Queen Victoria is coming for her first visit to Glasgow. The castle staff are working hard to prepare for it. But everything goes wrong…
Join the Royal Inspection Committee to decide if Crookston Castle is up to scratch for this historic royal visit. As you journey through the castle you’ll see, hear, touch, smell and taste the history. You will work on the new portrait of the Queen, select the essential ingredients for the royal cake, and see who is good enough to perform in front of the good lady herself.
Expect a playful tour created by Storytellers from the Village Storytelling Centre together with Pollok community for a sensory experience giving glimpses into the life of Crookston Castle in a blend of history and fiction. Suitable for all ages!
