Muncaster Castle has relaunched its Christmas card competition for children aged 15 and under. The winning design will be brought to life, and the artist will receive a Muncaster Annual Family Membership, offering free general admission for up to two adults and three children, along with large discounts on Muncaster festival tickets for a full year. The winner will also receive tickets to the Christmas at Muncaster festival.
Two runners-up will receive tickets to the Christmas event, with one runner-up chosen from each age category: 0–8 years and 9–15 years.
Entries should be A4 size in landscape orientation and can be submitted in person at a Muncaster ticket office or emailed as a high-resolution JPEG or PNG to info@muncaster.co.uk. Each entry must include the artist's name, age, an email address and a contact phone number. The deadline for submissions is December 2.
Organiser Edie McCarren said: 'I am really excited that we are bringing back the Christmas Card Competition. Like many people who grew up in the area, it is something I remember taking part in myself in years gone by. So I am really pleased to be reinstating the competition to hopefully bring back some of that same excitement.'
The Christmas at Muncaster festival will run on December 5–6, 12–13, and 19–22. The castle and gardens will be transformed into a festive space, featuring artisan craft stalls, live entertainment, seasonal food and drink, garden trails, and a visit from Father Christmas. The competition marks a return of the tradition following the castle's successful Halloween celebrations.
