It was only 9 months ago I was posting about how much we loved Tutbury Castle when we went for their Fairytale Day last August (see here). Captain Jack was a favourite with the boys, who use any excuse to be a pirate, so we were really pleased to find out they were having pirate theme Bank Holiday Weekend event and best of all we could get our tickets cheaper thro Amazon Local (you don't have to pay for under 5's but was a cheap to get 2 tickets then by 2 thro amazon and an adult on Tutbury's site).The weather treated us to sunshine on the 5th (Monday) so we packed our picnic and caught the train to the event. What a good job we did. The traffic completely gridlocked the beautiful village and I believe the Police had to come and turn people away. The car park was packed with not enough room for people to park in so they were parking wherever possible on roads leading up to the event.
