Join us to explore Astley Castle on Friday 7th, Saturday 8th, Sunday 9th and Monday 10th June 2024. 

The ancient moated site of Astley Castle holds unequivocally modern living accommodation clasped within the shell of the Castle. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the huge living room and kitchen look out over Astley’s former collegiate church and into beautiful internal courts formed by ruined spaces. Come and explore the accommodation hidden within the ruined walls and the new knot garden and find out more about its history through our footpath trails.

Whilst booking is not essential we would ask that you register for the event via Eventbrite so that we can provide you with updates regarding the event.

Open Day entry

Due to the historic nature of our buildings we have a limited capacity for our Open Day events. You may therefore be asked to wait a short time while other visitors finish their visit. Whilst booking is not essential, priority will be given to those who have booked in advance. Thank you for your co-operation.

Live evening theatre with Sudden Impulse

We welcome back Sudden Impulse theatre to Astley Castle this June with live outdoor evening performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, for which tickets are now on sale, directly from Sudden Impulse. 

Accessibility

We do all we can to enable access wherever possible; for further information or if you have any access concerns that you’d like to discuss before visiting, please contact our Booking Enquiries team on 01628 825925 or [email protected]. The Booking Office is open Mon to Fri - 9am to 5pm.

Parking is available in a nearby field, look out for signage close to the site. A lift to the second floor is available for visitors to use, however please note there is a walk of several hundred metres from the parking area to the castle.

Donating to Landmark

As a charity, the Landmark Trust relies on donations to support our work. We couldn’t have rescued over 200 Landmarks without the support of people like you. Your support saves historic buildings in danger of being lost forever and makes them available for all to experience and enjoy. Your donation could help train the craftspeople needed to restore buildings like this, or it could offer opportunities to young people to experience history first-hand, through our open days and free stays for study groups. We would be delighted if you felt able to add a gift to your booking today.
