Historical Excitement

We visited here for the first time and were touched by the warm welcome we received from the staff. We really enjoyed the exhibition and loved the intricate models and interactive features. We had particularly visited for a talk on the Neville sisters which was most interesting. We will be back soon for more historical excitement and a talk on the Princes in the Tower, can’t wait!

Girls Day Out

We spent a fantastic couple of hours here, the guided tour was absolutely brilliant and only £4 per person, worth every penny. Elizabeth our tour guide, made it so much fun, right down to letting us carry flags and test out the weight of the weapons! The food in the cafe was delicious and great value, really good coffee too.

A Truly Magical Experience

The staff in the restaurant and Visitor Centre were so friendly and helpful it made the most memorable family day with our granddaughter. All the staff were so engaged and welcoming, even organising their all terrain mobility scooter at short notice enabling a magical trip around the 1.5mile Battlefield tour – can’t thank them enough.

Loved the guided walk!

We went on the guided walk with Katie and had a fantastic time! Very informative and great humour too. Recommend doing this on your visit, we got to re-enact the battle at the end which was great fun. Really took us back to the times. The grounds are so beautiful too and all the staff we met were very helpful and friendly.
