Another brilliant experience on Friday with my pre booked 2 clients from Ohio

Birds of prey on arrival for 3pm falconry display; followed by castle and boars feeding - whilst I had time to feed in your cafe too

Just brilliant - thanks and we always get a genuine warm welcome from all you staff and the ladies in the cafe too !

Warmest regards,

To Bolton Castle staff,

My father and I visited Bolton Castle today (Friday 21st July) and I wanted to express our gratitude for the wonderful experience we had. The Castle staff were all so friendly and welcoming.

I was most impressed with the Lad who facilitated the Falconry and Archery. His knowledge on the birds was phenomenal and his presence and confidence during his time showing the birds was wonderful to watch, we were really impressed.

We really appreciated his time spent answering questions and chatting with us and the other Castle guests.

Thank you so much for a great experience.

I rarely write emails like this but feel compelled to in this instance. We visited the castle on 29^th July, on a weekend when there were a number of volunteers demonstrating and talking about life in a Tudor household. It was absolutely brilliant. The patience of each person to talk us through different aspects of life and the amount of passion they had for the history was astonishing. The few hours we spent there was fantastic and we really want to come back.

I think it was Keith in the kitchen that mentioned they do this on four weekends a year, two for the Tudors and two for another period. Would it be possible to find out when they will be at the castle again?

Keep up the good work and please pass on our praise to the volunteers.

I visited yesterday and just wanted to say thank you for a lovely day, it was my first time visiting and it was brilliant.

I especially really enjoyed the falconry display and Luke was fantastic. Do the falconry team have their own social media showing their work with the birds? I couldn't find anything but please pass on my thanks to Luke, if it wasn't such a scorching day, I would have loved to have spoken to him more about the birds.

Hope you're well and thanks again.

Best castle I've EVER been to

Absolutely loved it here, we were lucky enough to come when people were in costume. Master David provided a GREAT tour, very very interesting, extremely knowledgeable, and humorous. I would recommend it to anyone
