Prince Charming and Cinderella’s wedding procession and feast were among the scenes filmed at the castle, watched by dozens of visitors.

Last summer a trailer was released giving audiences a taste of the dark fairytale world created by the film makers.

Among the extras were local actors Brad Zare and Karol Steele, from Dover, Edna Rogers from Deal, and Andrew Gichigi, from Folkestone.
