A spokesperson for Gwrych Castle said: "The castle hosted a magnificent evening with over 150 of our volunteers and supporters of the castle, showcasing the main building and grounds illuminated. Everything was looking very festive and lit up by our newly installed mains electricity.

"Many of those who attended have watched the destruction and devastation by vandalism over the years, and most of which have helped to bring the castle back to life over the last 20 years, so it was incredible to be in a position to show everybody the progress made in recent years."
