Questions parents ask
- Is there food and drink available, or should we bring a picnic?
- There is a Tearoom and Grindhus coffee shop on the estate, plus The Boar's Head pub. We haven't confirmed whether there is a designated picnic area, so you may want to contact the venue if you plan to bring your own food.
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- A typical visit is around two hours, which should give you time to explore the castle, gardens and grounds without rushing.
- Can we manage with a buggy, and will it work with both a toddler and older child?
- We haven't confirmed how buggy-friendly the paths are, so it's worth asking the venue directly before your visit, especially if you need to manage multiple ages at once.
- Does it work in bad weather, or should we avoid a rainy forecast?
- Ripley Castle and Gardens is both indoors and outdoors, so a wet day doesn't mean you'll have nothing to do, though some outdoor exploring may be less pleasant.
