"We wanted to put on one of our greatest shows yet and it made sense to use this castle which was so well known for the parties it hosted when William Cavendish lived here.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming our visitors and putting on a great evening of entertainment for them.”

The event runs from 6.30pm to 9.30pm from the 26 – 29 September.
