We like to keep our magical grotto a surprise, but we appreciate some visitors need to know exactly what to expect for an enjoyable time on the day. The grotto will be created at the start of December. If a member of your party has a sensory impairment and would benefit from familiarising themselves with the space before visiting, please email [email protected] after booking, and we can share photographs.
*Our grotto is suitable for all ages, but adults must accompany children.
Tickets cost £12 per child, £1 per adult. Please note this does not include admission to the Castle Museum. Please purchase additional tickets to enter the museum.
