As part of Heritage Open Days, Hertford Town Council invites you to the annual Heritage Day at Hertford Castle.
Step back in time and explore the Castle lawn, transformed into a lively medieval settlement with interactive encampments. The Castle itself will be open to explore, and the performance arena will host storytelling, archery demonstrations, and thrilling Viking battle re-enactments. You'll also find a great selection of food and drink, craft and charity stalls, making it a fun-filled day for all the family.

Hertford Castle is a magnificent Grade I listed building, which dates from the mid-15th century. It is situated in beautiful grounds, nestled at the heart of Hertford, and was a Royal Palace for over 300 years where Queen Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood. The Hertford Castle Gatehouse is all that remains of Hertford Castle, but this impressive building can be explored as part of the event including the Mayor's Parlour, Robing Room and themed basement.
