Great workshop Once upon a castle (May 2022)

We were not allowed into the castle. We were a school group of 8 students and 4 staff. Six of the 8 students had Advantage cards and all four staff had them. So we only expected to pay for two students. However, at the entrance we were told school groups are not allowed to enter the castle using Advantage cards. This was particularly annoying because I had visited the castle on my own on Monday 13 Dec and explained how we were coming and had only one and a half hours for the visit before stopping for lunch before the pantomime. I asked for advice as to which areas of the castle to visit. The staff I spoke to were excellent and advised how to get the best out of a trip (with an emphasis on Henry VIII). One guide in particular threw herself into helping me compile a few questions for the students to answer about details in each of the rooms we intended to visit. Yet no one mentioned Advantage cards were not allowed. However, fortunately, I had a plan B ready with me, and the weather was dry, and copies of a multiple choice questionnaire, so each student was able to complete one, and learn about some of the sights of Windsor - statues, Guild Hall, Bachelors Acre, Queen Victoria statue etc. We were also still able to watch the soldiers leave the barracks and march off to the castle for the changing of the Guard. Then the pantomime, fortunately, exceeded all expectations. We had front row seats in the stalls and the production was as clever as it was comical with the result that it eclipsed any disappointment about not getting into the castle.

This was a really successful day and very worthwhile. Just ensure we plan for the journey time being 1.5hours in case of traffic (January 2022 - Primary School)

As the Castle was closed we were unable to enter so I am unable to rate the facility (November 2021 - Secondary School)

Absolutely fabulous (November 2021 - Primary School)

We were met at the entrance. All Covid arrangements were in place with sanitation in every area of the castle and grounds. Standards were high for cleanliness and good direction. Pupils were stunned the the views and the splendor and opulence of the castle. It gave a wonderful introduction to our history and our art. This is definitely on our list of places to visit with pupils. A bonus in these difficult times was that there were only a few other visitors so we had the place largely to ourselves. The staff at the castle could not have been more helpful. Weather and time curtailed our planned full tour of the town but we wre able to have lunch in one of the very few open restaurants.
