  • The Three Musketeers

    Pontefract Castle The Lodge Castle Chain, Castle Garth,, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

    All for one – and one for all! Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a thrilling adventure. He must retrieve the Queen’s jewels, restore Her Majesty’s honour, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu, and cross swords with the deadly Milady de Winter.
    Set against a sweeping panorama of 1600s France at war, The Three Musketeers is a whirlwind of excitement, comedy and ingenious storytelling.
