About this Event

Step inside the Castle this half term and hear some of its darkest stories. This guided family tour takes you beyond the usual visitor route to explore hidden areas, strange moments from the Castle’s past and some truly gruesome historical facts.

Tours run at 11am and 2.30pm, Monday 26 to Friday 30 October, and last approximately 45 minutes.

The content is recommended for children aged 7 and over due to the nature of the stories, although younger children are welcome at a parent or guardian’s discretion.

Please be aware that the tour includes slightly uneven flooring, low archways and uneven stairs. Unfortunately, there is no lift access to the tour route. For information about facilities and accessibility, please visit our Access at the Castle page.
