Every year more than 10,000 children from schools across the country visit Tamworth Castle to learn about our rich history and heritage.

Our award-winning education programme is tailored to meet the national curriculum, while our interactive workshops guarantee our young visitors will have fun during their visit.

We cater for children from Foundation up to Key Stage Four – and we can tailor the workshops detailed to meet your needs and teaching requirements. In addition, we can cater for groups - large or small - just get in touch and let us know what you need to get the most out of your visit.

Take a look at our different workshops and details of the Castle’s facilities. You can also book or make an enquiry using our online form. Due to the changes in the National Curriculum, the Castle is reviewing the workshops we deliver to reflect the changing needs. If you have any specific requirements please talk to us as we may be able to adapt or tailor our current provision to meet your needs. We also welcome any suggestions for new workshops.

Your visit will start at 10.30am and last until approximately 2pm. Your bespoke workshop will last between 45 minutes and an hour-and-a-half, depending on which visit you are taking part in.

Pupils will get to finish off their day with a visit to our well-stocked gift shop, which offers a range of child-friendly souvenirs and hot and cold drinks. We also offer a shop pre-packing service and have a large indoor lunch area along with newly refurbished toilets.
