The event has been designed to create a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere where people of all ages can relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Organisers say the festival is about bringing people together and making the most of the summer in one of Cumbria’s most distinctive locations.
A spokesperson for Greystoke Castle said: “We’re really looking forward to hosting the Summer Family Festival again this year. It’s all about good music, good food and a great atmosphere in a setting that people don’t always get to experience like this.”
“We’ve got a fantastic line-up of local talent and plenty going on for families, so it should be a brilliant weekend.”
With affordable ticket prices of £10 for adults, £5 for children, and free entry for under 5s, the event aims to be accessible to the local community while also attracting visitors from across the wider Cumbria area.
The Summer Family Festival continues to grow as part of Greystoke Castle’s programme of events, adding to a calendar that celebrates local culture, entertainment and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors are encouraged to book in advance, with strong interest expected for what promises to be a lively and enjoyable weekend in the castle grounds.
