Warwick Castle

I recently had the chance to spend a day at Warwick Castle and overall, it was a delightful experience! We purchased two adult tickets for £46.68 which, while a bit steep, felt justifiable considering how much history and entertainment was packed into the day.

One of the first things we did was head to the Dungeon – for an additional £5 each, this was an enjoyable and interactive journey through some of the darker tales of British history. Honestly, we found ourselves laughing and gasping in equal measure! The atmosphere was mysterious and playful, making it great for guests who enjoy a good mix of thrills and entertainment. The live actors did a great job so credit to them for making the experience that bit more special!

We were excited about the Falconer's Quest bird show, which exceeded our expectations! The birds were majestic and the falconers were great! Watching the falcons dive and swoop against the stunning grounds was captivating. This show alone is worthy of a visit!

However, we were a tad disappointed to find the Trebuchet show closed during our visit—it would’ve been fascinating to see it in action, as it is one of the castle's standout attractions. On a positive note, we also tried our hand at archery, which was a blast! The instructors were friendly and encouraging, making even the shaky beginners feel like pros by the end.

The only thing that put a downer on our day was the pricing for photos around the castle dungeon they were quite expensive, they took three photos before entering the dungeon, and then on exit, they were already printed in a souvenir bundle of roughly £14 (from memory) I asked if I could purchase the photos on their own since they were already printed but the price was no different so I thought what is the point in printing them for them to be disposed of at least display the photo on a screen and print them for people who want to buy them rather than printing 3 photos each for a group of 20 for only 1 person out of the group to buy a pack so we decided to pass, yet it’s always nice to capture those moments, On the logistical side of things, the free bus drop-off service to the car park was a great addition,

In conclusion, despite a few hiccups, our day out at Warwick Castle was well worth it. If you're looking for a mix of history, thrills, and interactive experiences, I highly recommend spending a day here.

Would be a 5* if the photos were cheaper to purchase.
