Eastnor Castle, near Ledbury, is gearing up for another fun-packed Summer Holiday programme again this year as families are preparing to entertain their children during the six weeks off school.

The castle and grounds will be open every Sunday through to Thursday from 22nd July until 30th August, with an event included in the entrance price on every open day.

Activities will include some firm family favourites such as Circus Skills and the Dinosaur Show, as well as a brand new ‘Survival Skills’ event where children can channel their inner Bear Grylls!

David Littlewood, General Manager at Eastnor Castle said “We always look forward to hosting our Summer Holiday event programme as so many of our visitors return year after year to have fun with their family and friends. As all of our Summer Holiday events are included in our admission price, we feel a day out at Eastnor Castle is real value for money. Dogs are always very welcome here too and we enjoy seeing them running around.”

As well as these activities which are all included in the entrance price, there’s a huge variety of permanent attractions to keep the whole family amused all day. These include a maze, children’s adventure playground, woodland play area, lakeside walks, arboretum trails and children’s fun booklets.

To ensure visitors have longer to enjoy their visit this year, the lower grounds are open from 10.30am which is half an hour earlier than previous years, and to encourage visitors even further, tickets can be purchased online for the same price as last year.

Opening times are 10.30am until 5.30pm and prices are Adults: £7.00, Children: £5.00, Families: £20.00 (Online Grounds Only admission, castle upgrades are available).
