The management have just told us to earn an extra £8k a year so all and any ideas gratefully received. :)

I did pirates summer before last [got a novel out of it too :)] and we decided to do a kids event in the castle grounds. We made hats from black paper and cutlasses from pipe lagging and packing foam, painted faces with moustaches and scars, made eye patches, let them dig for treasure and sail paper boats in a paddling pool. HUGE fun and it was a free event but I think we might have to start charging in future. :( such a pity
