Join Us for an Exclusive Experience Day at Dunster Castle!

Step behind the scenes and spend the day with our Collections and House Manager. Discover fascinating stories, explore hidden treasures, and gain unique insights into the care and history of Dunster Castle.

This is a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss-spaces are limited, so secure your spot today!

Start your experience with refreshments and an introductory talk by Lydia Rys, our Collections and House Manager.

Next, enjoy a bespoke tour of the castle, including exclusive access to areas normally closed to the public. This is your chance to dive deeper into the castle’s rich history, remarkable objects, and the intriguing characters who once lived here.

After the tour, relax at the Watermill Tearoom with a delicious two-course lunch, accompanied by Lydia, who will be on hand to chat and answer your questions.

In the afternoon, return to the castle for a hands-on conservation workshop. Learn about the techniques used to care for the collection and even try your hand at cleaning historic objects yourself.

Finally, round off your day with a visit to the Stables Shop, where you can browse for souvenirs and local products before heading home.
