Tonbridge Castle Kent - Home page

Tonbridge Castle remains temporarily closed to visitors, with reopening expected in July.

We’re carrying out essential roof renovation works to preserve and protect this much-loved historic landmark. As is often with heritage restoration projects, the work has proven more extensive than initially anticipated. Additional challenges have been uncovered as the project has progressed, leading to a necessary extension of the closure.

We understand this may cause some disappointment and we truly appreciate your patience and support. We’re excited about the improvements being made and look forward to welcoming our community and visitors back later this summer to enjoy the castle at its very best.

Listed events are still going ahead as planned. The gift shop remains open, with limited access to the castle grounds.

Kent's most authentic medieval castle stands guard over the market town of Tonbridge. Situated in the heart of the local community, step from the high street into 950 years of history. Explore the gatehouse, great hall, winding stairs and basement or climb the motte for breathtaking views across the town. Complete your visit with a relaxing picnic on our enclosed bailey lawn. It's the perfect day out for you and your family.
