  • You must wear appropriate clothing (including a top and shoes) at all times whilst at Warwick Castle. If you are wearing clothing that is indecent or likely to cause offence in any way, you will be refused entry or removed. Since you’ll be travelling, wear something comfortable.

The weather was a bit cold and wet so the crowds were down. Nonetheless we had a great experience here. The amount of historical information provided is amazing. The Trebechet show was well performed and orated and highly entertaining. The ground are well kept and clean. Great for families and worth the price of admission! Very much recommended if you are in the area.
