Explore the grounds, enjoy the views from the Medieval Wall Walk, discover the archaeology displays and visit the Magna Carta Vault. Enter the Victorian Prison and discover what life was like for those that were held there.

Join our storyteller for tales of King Herla and the unwise deal he makes with a hooded figure on the road, and the incredible story of Victorian Admiral Tryon and his tragic error at sea. There are stories of vessels with unwelcome shipmates and of medicines to make your toes curl! From ancient legends to ghostly drummers of old England, there’s a chill in the air at Lincoln Castle this Half Term week.
Don’t forget to collect your spooky castle activity sheet and be prepared to discover some gruesome finds!
