New spectacular show planned
WARWICK Castle is hatching a spectacular new show for 2019, giving visitors even more reasons to flock to the historic attraction.
The new show – The Falconer’s Quest - will join existing performances and attractions including the Horrible Histories Maze and Castle Dungeon to create a truly awe-inspiring calendar of events at the popular Midlands destination.
Launching in April 2019, The Falconer’s Quest promises to be the UK’s largest display of avian adventure, coupling a riveting storyline and live action with amazing aerial feats by a wide array of birds of prey ranging from Red Kites to the largest winged star of the show, the Bald Eagle.
Following the sell-out success of Dragon Slayer - the castle’s first night-time show which premiered in August 2018 - it was also announced that the liveaction retelling of Midlands legend Guy of Warwick will return for 2019.
“We are delighted to be expanding our spectacular shows offering with a new birds of prey performance in 2019,” says Nick Blofeld, divisional director at Warwick Castle.
“Our avian friends are one of the most popular attractions at the Castle and we will now be able to showcase a wider range of birds in a more creative way, highlighting the esteem they were held in during medieval times and portraying their personalities through an exciting new performance.”
Visitors can spread their wings after a day exploring with a special ‘Early Bird’ short break offer of up to 30 per cent off for stays in Warwick Castle’s Knight’s Village. Including two days’ Castle entry, overnight accommodation, a hearty breakfast and car parking, families also enjoy exclusive entertainment including meeting some of the feathered flying favourites from The Falconer’s Quest. Nesting in the Knight’s Village starts from only £172 per night for a family of four in a Woodland Lodge: book online at www.warwick-castle.com before January 31, 2019.
More information on The Falconer’s Quest will be unveiled in the lead-up to its launch in April.
