Steeped in over 800 years of military history Carrickfergus Castle greets all visitors with its strength and menace.

Besieged in turn by the Scots, Irish, English and French, the Castle saw action right up to World War II.

Information boards, audio-visual displays and life-size models of historic figures allow you to get the most out of your visit and explore the Castle and its history.

Special events are run throughout the year.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Carrickfergus Castle, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
