Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- A full day is possible—one visitor spent 4 hours exploring the castle and gardens, eating lunch in the tearoom, and watching the birds of prey display and boar feeding. However, you can tailor your visit to suit your schedule by choosing which activities to include.
- Can we get a buggy around the castle?
- We haven't confirmed whether buggies are manageable throughout the castle itself. We'd recommend contacting the castle directly to discuss your specific needs with a toddler and older child.
- Is there a café, and can we bring our own food?
- There is a tea room on site. We haven't confirmed whether there's a picnic area, so it's worth checking ahead if you'd prefer to bring your own food.
- Which ages get the most out of it?
- The castle suits everyone from babies through to teens, with activities ranging from medieval games and archery demonstrations to bird of prey displays and a Mary Queen of Scots exhibition. The variety means different family members can find something to engage with.
