Enjoy a great family day out with the kids at Sudeley Castle & Gardens
Offering the chance for adults to soak up some history and for children to have some exploring fun, families will enjoy a great day at one of Gloucestershire’s magnificent castles.
Sudeley Castle is perhaps best known as being the final resting place of Queen Katherine Parr, the last of Henry VIII’s six wives. Today visitors can explore the beautifully restored 15th century church where she lies entombed, explore the fascinating exhibition which tells the 1,000-year story of Sudeley’s history, meet the castle’s feathered friends in the pheasantry and enjoy the beautiful gardens throughout the seasons.

The Castle Kitchen restaurant offers a range of delicious choices for all the family from freshly prepared sandwiches, light lunches, a selection of cakes and scones and an ever-changing variety of hot meals.

The real highlight has to be the playarea. There is a HUGE wooden castle to play on and in, with assault course, swings and zip wires. My daughters could have stayed in here all day!
