Immerse yourself in over 1100 years of jaw-dropping history. A Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, Warwick Castle has played a prominent role in history for over 11 centuries. Visitors can climb the medieval Towers and Battlements, GET LOST in the World's only Horrible Histories maze and get up close to the impressive Birds of Prey at the Falconer's Quest show.
We bought tickets using the 40% off as locals from the surrounding area. This helped with the cost. We watched the War of the Roses show and then the Falconry show. Make sure you que up early for these very popular shows for the best views. The shows were spectacular. We also visited the dungeons. The actors were brilliant and very good when part of our group found the show too scary. The dungeons are 8+ for a reason. It's dark and scary, and you are in close proximity to the actors and the show. We also enjoyed the inside of the castle. Fabulous displays of the items of the castle and wax works of historic visitors/residents. The lower floor showed the former working life of the castle by previous Earls of Warwick. Overall, it was a great day out.
Almost 45yrs since I last visited here, on a school trip. Brought lots of childhood memories back, and had an absolutely fantastic day out. It's things like this that remind you just how great England really is, and how lucky we are to have so much rich heritage around us. A lovely warm August day obviously helped. Did the castle dungeon tour too which was good and funny at the same time! Saw the jousting from a distance whilst eating my lunch in a seated area. Forgot how unfit I am - let's just say there were enough steps for the lactic acid to kick in! Every child I saw was smiling and laughing - which is usually a good indication of things to come. Plenty of places to sit. Very clean and tidy - no litter whatsoever and lots of bins. Not the cheapest day out, granted - but then it can't possibly be cheap to maintain everything there either. Can't recommend enough - plenty to do for all ages. Came away beaming. Thanks very much.
Perhaps the most spectacular medieval castle in the UK, far larger than any I had visited before. The variety of attractions are perfect for children and families, but the historical displays and battlement walks are more than enough to keep adults engaged as well!
A lovely historic place with amazing grounds and a lot to see and do. Some of the stairs up to the towers are difficult but you have to bare in mind the historic nature of them and when they where built. They put on a lot of events and shows and I would particularly suggest seeing the Flacons Quest show as it was spectacular and the birds they have are amazing! Also some lovely food to be had at the stalls around the grounds. The stall I went to had some lovely chips for PS4 and a very decent sized portion to. Overall a lovely experience and one I would recommend to people.
The weather today is pleasant and conducive for outdoor activities. However, it is important to plan ahead and budget accordingly, as food and drinks can be quite expensive. If you have children, it is advisable to bring a picnic and a flask to avoid incurring significant expenses on snacks, food, toys, and activities.
Spent 5 hours of excellent entertainment with 2 grandchildren and their grand parents. The good weather obviously helped but with appropriate clothes it would still be enjoyable. Events taking place all day and activities for children of all ages to enjoy.
