What our visitors say about the castle

A visitor April 2024

An excellent day out!

Our first stop was the tea room. The woodburner warmed the cosy little room, the coffee was good and the service was fast and friendly. Prices were very good value and the homemade pasties and pies ( including boar pie) were melt-in-the-mouth gorgeous. The cakes looked wonderful but we were stuffed. Staff in the gift shop were entertaining and the Castle itself was steeped in story, with plenty of little nooks and crannies to explore, and set out in ways that made it fun and interesting. The have-a-go archery got us all competing with each other and Kelly's Bird of Prey display was wonderful. We loved it!

What a day that was.

Please thank ALL your team including the grass cutting guys. You and they all helped the day to run so well.

The re-enactment team were brilliant and please pass on our thanks . For the car drivers it was almost the highlight of the day to have the flag laid down in front of the car. Really great touch.

Last but not least Lorna. What an amazing job she did. Over and above.

Everyone was amazed how quick the service was and how good the products were.

Please pass on our thanks to lord Bolton.

Rice House

This is one of the better castles to visit. Yes, it might be half demolished, but that is what gives this castle it's charm, as weird as it sounds. And the Cafe is one of the very best

"attraction cafes* I have visited! I had the Bolton Pie and the Millionaire Bar and the latte! All top notch!

My family and I visited the castle today and had a great day. The lady who was doing all of the demos and feeding (I'm afraid I didn't catch her name) was excellent and made the whole day such a lovely experience. She was especially good doing the archery demo with the young children where she was so patient and kind. Really impressed us all and is an asset to the castle team. The falconry shows were great and she was full of knowledge.

Thank you again for such a lovely day out.

We enjoyed this more than Windsor Castle!

Even though Bolton Castle gets good reviews, having visited multiple castles our expectations weren’t that high. This was better than most castles we’ve visited (and we live not far from Windsor Castle) , our kids loved every minute and didn’t want to leave. A brilliant, fun day out for all of us. The highlights being the bird of prey show and the Mary Queen of Scots show. I strongly recommend visiting if you’re in the area and looking for a fun, interactive, educational and value for money day out.
