Castle is welcoming overnight visitors
WARWICK Castle is now fully open to the public for day visits and short breaks with accommodation at the on-site Knight’s Village.
Rediscover the Great Hall, State Rooms and Royal Weekend Party (limited numbers permitted entry at any one time), 64 acres of grounds and gardens including the Peacock Garden with its resident flock of colourful birds. Follow the one-way route through the Kingmaker sensory experience where sounds, sights and smells provide an immersive experience of life at the Castle in the 15th century. The Horrible Histories Maze has also been adapted to a one-way trail maintaining all of its entertaining and informative elements while keeping explorers safe.
Enjoy outdoor storytime with a princess, Knight School with a knight in armour, and witness the spectacular Falconer’s Quest show - a thrilling display by birds of prey including the world’s largest, the
Andean Condor.
Food and drink is available on site from outlets including the Courtyard Cafe, Conservatory Tea House and a number of takeaway stands.
Overnight stays are also available at the Knight’s Village, in woodland lodges with medieval styling for the full historical experience. Lodges sleep between five and seven people and all have self-contained bathrooms and toilets.
All tickets and stays must be booked in advance online at warwick-castle.com with day tickets available to book same-day where capacity allows.
The castle has been awarded the VisitEngland ‘We’re Good to Go’ charter mark demonstrating that all of the requisite health and safety processes are in place to ensure that visitors have a safe and enjoyable visit.
Divisional director Nick Blofeld said: “Having reopened grounds and gardens in early June, our new procedures are firmly in place and are now extended across the whole attraction. We’re delighted to be able to offer the full Castle experience that we know our visitors love, in line with best practice advice on social distancing and hygiene and look forward to welcoming guests back throughout the summer.
