Hello, Berko!
The clocks go forward this Sunday and the town will celebrate Spring’s official arrival with jazz concerts, choir performances and a Cher tribute act (amongst other things).
But first, we're turning back time to take a look at the darker side of our most famous ruin.
On the manuscript this week:
A potted history of the castle (and a guided walk this Sunday)
What’s happenin’ this week
Sport, dogs & music
Let’s get into it.
Damnable Stones: the darker side of the castle
The daffodils around the castle are coming out and this Saturday the Castle Choir are celebrating the arrival of spring at the Town Hall.
So the castle has been on my mind and inspired by last week’s look at archaeologist and Berko-local Sir John Evans, I’ve been digging up some of the castle’s darker stories.
