CASTLE CLOSURE - 24 & 25 October

Due to forecast winds of 60–70mph, we have made the decision to close the Castle this weekend for the safety of our staff and visitors, as the site will not be safe in these conditions.

All visitors with pre-booked tickets will be contacted directly by email with their options. Please check your inbox for further information.

Thank you for your understanding.
