DESCRIPTION

Enjoy Christmas at Warwick Castle, a stunning Medieval Castle built by William the Conqueror in 1068. It is compared in scale and grandeur to Windsor Castle and is a Grade 1 listed building as well as being protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Warwick Castle is beautifully situated on a sandstone bluff at a bend on the River Avon. It is provides a breathtaking view but with this tour, you can experience being part of the Castle’s grandeur.

Your traditional Christmas lunch will be held in the Medieval Undercroft and will consist of a delicious 3 course meal. On arrival you will receive a glass of mulled wine and then for starter enjoy handmade duck and orange pate with Cumberland sauce, fresh salad garnish and onion bread. Your main meal will consist of duo of roast gammon and turkey (with all the trimmings), served with seasonal vegetables and of course Christmas pudding with brandy sauce or apple and pear tart with vanilla ice cream. This will be delightfully finished off with coffee and truffles. Delicious!

There is of course a vegetarian option that consists of: Tomato and red pepper soup with croutons, Chestnut, Leek and Mushroom Filo Parcel with cream of mushroom and Leek sauce.

Lunch will be served at 12.30pm so you should arrive to be seated by midday.

Included in the price of your ticket will be entry to the Castle and its’ grounds. Admission is between 10am to 5pm so if you want to get there early to do some exploring you can. Enjoy the beautifully landscaped gardens; the rose garden or the peacock garden where you can stroll down to the river through Pageant Field which is lined by Cedar trees some of which are over 200 years old. Inside, you can visit the State Rooms and Great Hall which would have always been at the heart of Castle Life. Despite its’ current grandeur, dirt and straw would have covered the floor in the Middle Ages and at its’ centre, a great fire would have provided light and warmth despite turning the air acrid. It would have been the location for many a great feast and the nobility would have even slept here. Then if you’re brave enough, you can visit Ghost Tower which is supposedly still haunted by Sir Fulke Greville who was stabbed to death in an argument in London.

You will be eligible for VIP parking in the Stratford Road car park (subject to availability).

This tour is available from 29th November to 24th December except 3rd and 14th December.
