Warwick Castle, State Dining Room

Perhaps the most spectacular medieval castle in the UK, far larger than any I had visited before. The variety of attractions are perfect for children and families, but the historical displays and battlement walks are more than enough to keep adults engaged as well!

We bought tickets using the 40% off as locals from the surrounding area. This helped with the cost. We watched the War of the Roses show and then the Falconry show. Make sure you que up early for these very popular shows for the best views. The shows were spectacular. We also visited the dungeons. The actors were brilliant and very good when part of our group found the show too scary. The dungeons are 8+ for a reason. It's dark and scary, and you are in close proximity to the actors and the show. We also enjoyed the inside of the castle. Fabulous displays of the items of the castle and wax works of historic visitors/residents. The lower floor showed the former working life of the castle by previous Earls of Warwick. Overall, it was a great day out.

Warwick Castle is truly remarkable! We had an incredible time exploring it for about four hours, wandering through every nook and cranny. It was fascinating to dive into the rich history of both the castle and the country. The castle offers something for everyone, with plenty of activities for young children to enjoy. As expected in a castle, some areas have stairs and steps, but there are still many sections that are accessible for wheelchair users. Plus, there’s free parking available, including designated spaces for blue badge holders. Plan and buy tickets online will be lots cheaper.
