About Bolton Castle

Bolton Castle is superb medieval fortress with a packed programme of daily events and activities indoors and out, great for a family day trip!

Family entertainments include archery demonstrations where kids can have a go, Birds of Prey Displays and tours of the castle guided by costumed characters (groups only)! Plus visit the Wild Boar Park and watch the hungry piggies be fed, check out the bee observation hive and see the local rare breed sheep including Wensleydales.You will find a wealth of sights, sounds and smells which bring the castle and it's history to life!

Throughout every day there are also Trails, Period Dress Up, Calligraphy, Medieval Games and Traditional Crafts! Bolton Castle is one of the country's best preserved medieval castles and bears the scars of over 600 years of quite fascinating history but as such it should be noted that it's not easily accessible for those with reduced mobility as spiral stairs and loads of uneven surfaces exist throughout the building so be careful with small and wobbly ones.
