Torchlight walk 'Count Henry and his Daughter' at Namur Citadel

Namur Citadel offers an unusual Christmas evening: a torchlit stroll around the ramparts of the old Counts' castle. Count Henry, known as the Blind, and his daughter Ermesinde, a strong-willed young countess, bring a great medieval feast and a light-hearted clash of generations back to life. The walk is designed first and foremost for families with children. Torches are only handed to children old enough to hold them, always under adult supervision. There are two departures each evening from the Terra Nova visitor centre, and booking is required. Tip: book early as places are limited, and wear closed shoes and warm clothes for the ramparts in December.
