Imagine a totally electrifying, full day out at Britain's Ultimate Castle.

Where you can immerse yourself in a thousand years of jaw-dropping history - come rain or shine. Where ancient myths and spell-binding tales will set your imagination alight and your hair on end. Where princesses are pampered and maidens are wooed.

Experience the heat of battle at such close quarters you'll almost smell the fear, as winners become true heroes and losers are confined to dark, dank dungeons to be forgotten for eternity. It could only be Warwick Castle.

all we can say what a brilliant day out for the family the jousting event was fantastic, the ghosts alive and the castle is brilliant although take a picnic as the food is not very good value for money for example £4.95 for aburger and a coke. allow at least 3-4 hours for a visit for the castle and different events a great day out for the kids and the bigger kids ie the dads.
