An Igloo Theatre, Christmas market and guaranteed snow flurries are coming to a Kent castle for the first time this year.

Castlemas will be a magical 10-day festive experience at Tonbridge Castle this December.

Running from Friday, December 10 to Sunday, December 19 and staged by Bravo Productions, the experience will have live entertainment from cabaret to boybands and carols at the 300-seater Igloo Theatre on the lawn in front of the castle.

There will be a shop local Christmas market with wooden chalets and local food and drink retailers.

The market will be run in association with the TNCard, with holders getting discounts at the market.

And Father Christmas will be there in his grotto, with Insta-worthy oversized illuminated letters for keen selfie-takers.

There will also be creative workshops for all ages and, organisers have promised, a sprinkling of snow in the evenings after dark.

The magic will be available from 10am to 10pm every day (closing at 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays).

Tickets cost from £11 for the grotto and Igloo Theatre events, but it will be free to visit the Christmas market.
