Celebrate summer at Durham Castle

Enjoy a family day out with treasure hunts in the castle gardens, children’s craft activities in the Great Hall, and self-guided visits around the Castle.

Our friendly guides and volunteers will be around Durham Castle to answer your questions and share some of the stories and hidden history. The celebrations will include cake and a bouncy castle.

The event takes place on Saturday 25 June between 11am-3pm. Free timed entry tickets are required for both adults and children (including infants) and you are welcome to stay for the entire day.

Book your tickets on Eventbrite.

Please note: because of the nature of the building, the self-guided visit and activities may not be suitable for under 5s. The historic nature and layout of the Castle means that the majority of the building is inaccessible to wheelchair users and pushchairs. The tour route involves some steps and staircases, some of which are uneven.
