Lancaster Castle
Lancaster Castle - Families are welcome but the use of the building by the court does mean that all access is by guided tour, which might be too long for very young children to remain quiet.
Children under 5 are free, but parents need to use discretion about whether the tour is suitable for them. We do offer tours specifically for children on Wednesdays at 2p.m. throughout the summer holiday and during local half terms. We also hold family-friendly workshops at Christmas, and this year for the first time at Hallowe’en
None
Gifts, books, stationery, toys
Follow signs from M6/A6 into the city centre. We are five minutes by foot from the Rail and Bus stations
Due to the number of steps buggies are not allowed in the building.
If you've had fun on your family day out to Lancaster Castle, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
