Giant rave to be held at famous Welsh castle
A giant rave is to bring ‘music, energy and pure celebration’ to a famous Welsh castle.
Set in 200-year-old Gwrych Castle overlooking the North Wales coastline, tickets are on sale now for House of Eira which will be staged on September 5.
The event will feature two stages, two bars, and a vibrant games lawn across a breathtaking medieval setting – which organisers say will create an unforgettable backdrop for the event.
Ant and Dec hosted two series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! at Gwrych Castle in 2020 and 2021. The Grade I listed 19th-century gothic ruin, located near Abergele, hosted the show due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. The castle saw significant repairs and increased public attention following the celebrity appearances.
