There is so much to see and do on a full day out at Sudeley Castle and families will love exploring. To top off a jam-packed visit, children can let off some steam in the adventure playground, with a giant fort, zip wire and obstacle course!

Visitors can also enjoy a range of locally-sourced light bites and snacks and hot and cold drinks from the Pavillion café, the perfect pit stop on arrival at the castle or from the Shepherd’s Hut within the grounds.

We regret that dogs are not allowed in the castle grounds or gardens – including the children’s play area – apart from assistance dogs. Dogs are welcome at the Visitor Centre and Pavillion café.
