Program details
Come and live Britain's greatest medieval experience at the wonderfully preserved Warwick Castle.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* Stunning location on the River Avon
* Regular shows and activities
* Visit the Castle Dungeon
This historic fortress is a vault full of tales of treachery and torture, passion, power and above all fascinating people, times and events. The castle dates from the days when Normans and Saxons battled for control over England and to step inside is like going back in time.
You will find all the features a castle should have: walls, towers, a barbican, dungeon, vast central courtyard and even a mill. It is stunningly located on the banks of the River Avon, an area of unrivalled pastoral beauty. Visit the Great Hall and be transported back to days of knights in shining armour. Experience preparations for battle, feel the weight of a sword, get a soldier's-eye view from beneath a battle helmet, see lavishly decorated State Rooms and watch as a household prepares for a Victorian party. Summon up your courage to visit the deadly dungeons or see if you have what it takes to pull the sword from the stone.
There's something for everyone at this heritage site with events and entertainment continually presented. From world-class jousting tournaments to battling knights, spectacular birds of prey to friendly dragons, dungeons, ‘torture’ and ghosts to jesting, music and mystical magic plus the world's largest siege machine, which shoots twice daily. Britain's greatest medieval experience promises an action-packed and fun-filled day out for the whole family.
Start/opening time: At 10am.
End/closing time: At 5pm or 6pm, depending on the season.
