The News visited one of four free days during the Easter holidays. Falconry events are taking place on April 9 and 11, with displays happening at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
Children took part in several activities, including Bunny Bingo trail and Easter egg hunts. Visitors also explored the huge Victorian fort with its underground tunnels and its national collection of artillery.
