Guide Books

For group members preferring to take their own tour of the castle our have an excellent guide book available to enhance your visit. Guide books are available for £3.50 each and provide much greater insight to the Castles’ fascinating past.

Group visits

Larger groups might like to explore the extensive surviving rooms by themselves, or have a private tour by one of the enthusiastic and expert guides, focusing on Mary, Queen of Scots’ imprisonment or the Civil War, or castle life from 1399 through to the 20th century, for example.

Guided Tours

Your group will be greeted by our medieval, Tudor or Civil War guides depending on the style of tour you would like. They will be dressed authentically and you will be brought into the castle courtyard via our working portcullis to start your experience. As well as hearing about the history and stories about the castle you will also be able to handle items not usually available to visitors and even have a go at archery.

Tours are available for groups of 15 or more at an additional £10.00 per person (plus admission charge) and last for approximately an hour and a half.

  • About Your Group

  • (free entry - HHA cards required. Supplement of £10.00 per person if booking a Guided Tour)
  • Please indicate if you have any special requirements or if there is anything you feel we need to know in order to give your group the best possible experience.
  • Making the Most of your Visit

  • :
  • We ask that you make members of your group aware in advance that the castle has spiral staircases consisting of 115 steps from the courtyard to the battlements. It is therefore unsuitable for anyone with mobility or access needs. The gardens are however fully accessible as are the falconry displays.
  • Catering plans: The maximum capacity of our tea room is 40 people therefore we advise large groups to split into two smaller groups. You can also be served food in the Great Chamber by prior arrangement. Please make sure you request in advance any dietary needs.

  • :
  • For group booking rates to apply, all admission fees and guided tour fees must be made as one payment,in advance of the day of your visit.
  • Data Protection

We promise that any information you give will be used for this purpose only by Bolton Castle and will not be passed to any other company.
