The Castle is ALIVE!

We may seem rather imposing up here in the Castle of St John, but we're a friendly bunch - all 600 years worth of us! For the very first time, the tower will be brimming with characters from the Middle Ages right through to Victorian times, all at the same time. Find out what it was like to be one of the first occupants of the Tower and perhaps ask Lord and Lady Adair for a few tips on formal letter writing (we'll teach you the art of using a quill and ink so your epistoles will have that authentic look). Practice your salute for your next encounter with the might of the military who lived here when the Castle turned into a garrison in the 17th and 18th centuries. And don't think of leaving before you spend time in our Victorian prison - there's a lot of rope to make and you'll definitely be 'roped' into the task! From titled gentry to common crims, all of life is here, keeping our castle, and history, alive.
