ENJOY a fashionable social event at a historic site this mother's day.

Gwrych Castle, which overlooks Abergele, is hosting a cream tea. Guests will also get a chance to explore the most recently restored part of the site.

A spokesperson from Gwrych Castle said: "Since the 1800's when Anna, Duchess of Bedford would soon become hungry, afternoon tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1800's, aristocratic woman would change into long gowns, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea and it became a great social event.

"The Chapel at Gwrych Castle played host to such events during the time of the Countess of Dundonald. This is a chance to relive such an occasion."
