Warwick Castle, the finest Mediaeval Castle in England, rises majestically from the banks of the River Avon, just a few miles from Shakespeare's Stratford, on a site fortified by William the Conqueror in 1068.

Bursting to the towers with tales of treachery and torture, passion and power and above all fascinating people, times and events, Warwick Castle is so much more than simply a castle. With thousands of stories to share, the Castle is Britain's Greatest Mediaeval Experience with authentically themed attractions, a full programme of interactive entertainment including live action events, and costumed guides and colourful castle characters telling spell binding tales and springing plenty of surprises along the way.

Experience the sights, smells and sounds of mediaeval life in the Kingmaker attraction, feel the weight of a sword in Death or Glory - the Castle's armoury, or brave the chilling dungeon and torture chamber. Visit the elegant State Rooms and magnificent Great hall, meet Daisy, Countess of Warwick, in the Royal Weekend Party and see how the Mill and Engine House were used to generate electricity in 1894. The Castle has 60 acres of stunning grounds and gardens to explore.

Warwick Ghosts - Alive (1st April to 29th October)

The ghouls are back on a mission to terrify and tantalise as Warwick Ghosts - Alive returns. The legendary ghost tower is once more transformed into a chilling live-action spook experience.
