"Visitors will also be able to walk round the lake and through the castle gardens.
"The Lost Barn coffee roasters will be on site to provide visitors with delicious coffee, cakes and soup on both days.
"Breath-taking views giving unparalleled views of Cheshire, North Wales and Merseyside await keen walkers, and dogs on leads, with admittance open to those over the age of 12 years."
