Warwick Castle toegangsbewijs

I have visited Warwick Castle many times over the past 25 years, hosted events there and attended the outdoor concerts, with almost 100% satisfaction rates. However, when hosting my two cousins aged in their early 20’s I suggested we include the dungeon experience and purchased tickets with an admission time. I had visited the dungeon here before and thought the youngsters might like the history of it all. Well it’s now turned into a grizzly, horrible charade all about the Black Death and other macabre historical episodes, all designed to disgust. We were the only people on the tour and I began to understand whey they had tried to change us to a later tour. The actors get very close, shout at you and wear funny clothes and make up. the first 5 minutes were spent going down ancient corridors in complete darkness. Not exactly safe. The farce continued with people jumping out at you and frightening the life out of you. After a rather bizarre,farcical mock trial I was told to go through a door which had opened. I stated that I didn’t want to as I was afraid someone was going to jump out at me and I had enough shocks for one day! Not so, he says… yes indeed, someone jumped out from behind the door making a bizarre noise. I was so angry. I have asthma and the constant shocks set it off. I said I had to leave immediately and the staff were unsympathetic. My cousins continued on the tour on their own. They loved it! I hated it. I really question the safety of this tour especially when someone is obviously getting annoyed by the content of the tour to then lie to them about a forthcoming shock. Will I read soon that someone has a heart attack in there.

We took the grandchildren for a visit to the castle. They thought the castle was brilliant and enjoyed looking around the artifacts within the castle. The Falconry display and Trebuchet firing where excellent. The birds of prey swooped very low over the crowd. Well worth a visit

Stayed at Knights Lodge for 2 nights/3 days. Lodges were amazing, right location in the trees. Obviously loads to do, staff were friendly. Shout out to Tim at the restaurant who went above and beyond with the service, not often you get attentive staff in restaurants but he was good. Would have spent more if everywhere took cash and not just cards. Cmon Warwick Castle, give your customers more choice:)
