Visitors will be able to experience Norwich Castle like never before at an upcoming 'digital takeover' event.
The Saturday, October 28 event will include a digital treasure trail, augmented reality to show how the castle keep's magnificent Great Hall might have looked in Norman times, the chance to experience a recreated siege of the castle using virtual reality headsets, and a Minecraft competition to build the best castle.
Angela Riley, project manager of Gateway to Medieval England, said: 'Our vision for the keep is to bring the experience of a Norman castle alive, using a mix of different techniques, including digital technology, to really immerse visitors in the sights and sounds of a medieval royal palace.
'It's amazing what can be done now in the field of digital interpretation and augmented reality.
'Saturday's digital takeover is an important way of testing how we can best use technology in a museum setting and asking visitors how they would like to experience the Castle as we develop our plans.'
