Ewan Frost-Pennington, of Muncaster Castle, said: "It went very well, we had over four and a half thousand people visit the castle over the week and a lot of fun was had by all of the people who came.

"We incorporated the Weapons Hall so people could enjoy this as a new addition to the festival, BEE Unique had a stall, and the Cumbria Tanzania Link attended.
