Event details

Hertford Town Council will be opening Hertford Castle for visitors to enjoy a guided tour of the
Grade I listed building on Sunday 26th October from 12 noon to 4.00pm. Weather
permitting, the guided tour will continue outside to explore the beautiful Castle grounds.
Inside the Castle, guests will be guided by our volunteers from the Friends of Hertford Castle
through The Downshire Suite and Robing Room before heading down to the basement, which
features themed rooms such as 'dungeons' and the 'Victorian kitchen'. Our volunteers will be
on hand to impart their extensive historical knowledge of the Castle and answer questions.
Tickets are £2.00 per person, with the proceeds supporting the Mayor of Hertford's chosen
charities: Herts Young Homeless and Hertford Scouts.
Guided tours will operate every 30 minutes from 12:00 pm, with the last tour at 3:30 pm. Each
tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, with a maximum of 20 visitors per tour. While
sign-up is available on the day, visitors are encouraged to book a time slot in advance to avoid
disappointment. You can reserve your place via the Hertford Town Council website* at:
