Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before the 11am feed to get into place on the Castle terrace; it starts promptly.
  • Blue Badge holders should arrive before 10:30am to reach the disabled parking behind the castle; spaces are limited and not guaranteed.
  • Keep dogs on leads throughout the park during your visit, as the event instructions require this.
  • Avoid arriving after the feed begins, because latecomers may not be admitted and management reserves the right to refuse admission.
  • Wear warm layers for the outdoor Castle terrace viewing and winter walk, since both involve spending time outside in the park.
