Our amazing maintenance teams have been hard at work planting thousands of bedding plants around the grounds of the castle. It's an annual job that means we can look forward to weeks of dazzling summer colour, stretching from the Cannon Lawn to the high street. Nice job team!

The castle is now fully encased in scaffolding, allowing workers to safely access the top of the roof to carry out the restoration work. The next step is to remove the old roof, make repairs and put on a new roof. The grounds and gift shop remain open for a stroll! ๐ณ ๐โ๐ฆบ
