Pick up a self-led spotter sheet from the ticket office and see what types of butterflies and bees you can identify in the beautiful 5.5 acre garden.
Can you buzz like a bee or flutter like a butterfly? Which flower would you choose to gently land on if you were them and why?
Once you're done be sure to visit the medieval Adam Tower, where signs of the castle's medieval past can be seen. Have fun dressing up in armour, go on the hunt for the medieval garderobes (toilets to you and me) and murderholes, and venture down into the two-level dungeons... if you're brave enough!
The outdoor play area at Home Farm near the ticket office is a fabulous spot to keep little ones entertained and to run off some energy.

More InformationRoald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical is an inspirational musical tale of an extraordinary girl who discovers her superpower and summons the remarkable courage to help others change their stories, and takes charge of her own destiny.

On meeting her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales. Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull. As well as kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are story-loving librarian, Mrs. Phelps, and Matilda’s newfound school friends.
