*CHANGE OF DESTINATION*
Tomorrow we will now be visiting Hartlebury Castle instead of Eastnor Castle. Seats are still available for anyone who may be interested in visiting this beautiful, historic Palace that was home to the Bishops of Worcester for over 1000 years.
Hartlebury Castle has a fascinating history, with many intriguing stories to tell…
First given to Bishop Aelhun in 855AD, the Castle was the home of the Bishops of Worcester until 2007. Three of its bishops became saints, two were burned at the stake for their faith, one became the Pope who refused Henry the VIII his divorce and another was present at the ex*****on of Mary Queen of Scots. They have amazing stories to tell and their history and that of Hartlebury Castle is inextricably linked with the history of the nation.
Today the Castle offers three great experiences in one ticket. Discover the lives of those who lived and worked at Hartlebury Castle in the Bishop’s Palace, explore the fascinating history of the county in Worcestershire County Museum, and relax with a peaceful stroll around grounds taking in the wildlife and views across the moat. With hands-on displays and enthralling themes, Hartlebury Castle is a great day out for all the family. After you’ve explored the Castle and grounds, a visit to Hayley’s Kitchen at Hartlebury Castle Cafe is the perfect way to relax. Our Castle shop offers a variety of lovely souvenirs and gifts from local businesses.
