The Centre brings Stafford Castle to life.

The interior is designed to encourage a 'hands-on' approach to history; the emphasis is most definitely on information with fun. A collection of artefacts from archaeological excavations is on display and guides are pleased to answer your questions on the castle and its site. There is an audio-visual area with film narrated by Robert Hardy explaining the history of the castle. The layout is in the style of a Norman guard house. A scale model of the motte and bailey castle shows what it may have looked like in 1100 AD. The Castle Shop has a wide range of souvenirs to suit all pockets. It features a range of children's books on castles.

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