Closure for restoration
Our castle is temporarily closed to visitors for an estimated period of four months due to extensive planned roof renovation work.
While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, we are excited for the improvements this work will bring and look forward to welcoming you back once renovations are complete.
The castle gift shop will remain open with limited access to the castle grounds.

The freedom to explore
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.
