Peckforton Castle near Nantwich hosted a re-launch party to unveil its new look following a devastating blaze at the venue last summer.

Star singer Emeli Sandé performed live at the glitzy event which attracted a crowd of more than 300 guests.

She performed tracks from her number one album with onlookers including Coronation Street’s Michelle Keegan, Brooke Vincent and Ryan Thomas and Desperate Scousewive’s Amanda Farrington and Jill and Debbie O’Toole.

The night celebrated the renovation after the huge fire started by a guest last June destroyed large areas of the venue.

Brit award winner Emeli Sandé said: “I don’t think I’ve performed in a castle before – when I saw it I couldn’t believe how beautiful the setting was – it’s something else!”

Peckforton managing director and owner Chris Naylor said: “The castle has been restored and is looking better than ever.

“The events of June 19 have well and truly been put behind us and they are now just part of the history of this magnificent, magical place.

“The whole event could not have been any better and ran more than smoothly from start to finish and I would like to thank our wonderful team whose efforts were invaluable.”
