Discover the past as you journey through the castle and museum, and explore the spacious grounds set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside.
From captivating costume and vibrant vardos (gypsy caravans) to fascinating archaeology and children's toys, there is something for everyone. There are regular family craft events and trails to enjoy, outdoor cinema screenings, and lots more through the year.
The lovely gift shop, Hayley's Café, picnic area and nature reserve all add up to a great day out!
