Warwick Castle and new Zog Trail the perfect match
The magic of Warwick Castle paired with the wonder of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's 'Zog' were just meant to be.
Whenever visiting the castle, where ever you look children are dressed up as a Knight, prince or princess.
It all adds to the fun of the visit. The children love playing sword fights with their pretend weapons, especially after attending Knights School, which never fails to give the adults watching on the sidelines a bit of a laugh too.
My wife, Kelly, six-year-old daughter Annabelle and I were all invited back to the castle for the launch of the new Zog and The Quest for the Golden Star.
The concept is simple. Children – and adults, if they so wish – follow a Zog trail picking up the skills needed along the way to become a fully-fledged dragon.
Those familiar with the story, which has become a staple of Christmas TV in recent years too, will recall how Zog struggles to master the essential dragon arts of flying, roaring and breathing fire.
So visitors to the castle are tasked with following in his footsteps and learning five tasks that mirror his own lessons.
