Ahead of our Open Day kicking off at 12 noon we wanted to share some f&q's to help you plan for the day.

The entry to the castle and grounds is FREE, there are FREE activities such as archery and lawn games and a small charge of £3 for the animals. Our inflatables company will be offering hour sessions for £6.

There will be inflatable castles, slides, basketball. Beat the goalie, scuttle bug and so much more.

Joannas Chippy Van and Outcast Coffee Club will be providing all your catering needs.

We look forward to meeting you all. 12-4pm
Dogs welcome! Please keep dogs on a lead at all times

Ahead of our Open Day, we wanted to answer one of the questions we get asked most often…

🐶 “Can I bring my dog?”

The answer is yes — absolutely! We’re delighted to welcome your four-legged friends to enjoy the day with you.

We do kindly ask that all dogs are kept on a lead at all times, as there will be livestock and other animals around the estate during the event. Water will be available for your furry companions, and we’d appreciate owners cleaning up any little accidents along the way.

Please note that dogs are unfortunately not permitted inside the castle itself, but you are very welcome to explore the estate grounds freely with them throughout your visit.

📷 These photos feature some of our staff’s own much-loved furry friends, who are very much part of the team 🐾

We can’t wait to welcome both you and your pups to our Open Day!
