Two new attractions will open to visitors at Leeds Castle this weekend.

The opening of a new playground - built in the shape of the castle - and an adventure golf course are both part of the historic attraction's 900th anniversary celebrations throughout this year.

CBeebies presenter Ben Cajee will open the Knights’ Stronghold playground on Saturday, April 13.

The wooden replica of the castle will have spiralling slides, fireman’s poles, giant cargo nets and zip wires.

Designed for children up to the age of 14, it will include a new shop and seating areas for parents to watch their children play.

The adventure golf course has also been based on the castle, with more challenging holes themed to daily attractions, such as falconry and the maze.

Using artificial grass, rocks, sand and planting by the gardening team, the new attraction will be open all year round, whatever the weather.

It will be near the maze and there is a small extra charge for games lasting around 40 minutes.

TV presenter and sports enthusiast Ben Cajee, who worked at Lord's Cricket Ground before joining CBeebies, will be at the castle for the opening at noon and to meet younger visitors - arrive early if you want to catch a selfie with him.

The highlight of the celebrations at the castle this year will be the Classical Concert on Saturday, July 13, with a specially commissioned fanfare and a carnival of history on Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28.
