Princesses at the Castle
The castle is set to become even more enchanting as we will be joined by Princesses from 4th - 6th May!
We will have three Princesses meeting visitors and hosting Princess lessons, along with storytelling and magical wish making. We will also have a Prince and Princess trail along our scenic route for the whole family to enjoy.
Fancy dress is very much encouraged. Enter our competition by sharing your photos with us on social media afterwards or email us, as we will be giving away free admission tickets to our favourites!
Important: The Princesses will be with us from 10am - 3pm, we would recommend arriving at 2pm at the latest if you wish to meet them!
In a bit more detail...
We will be open from 10am - 5pm, last admission is at 4pm and our gift shop will close at the same time. We advise all visitors to pre-book prior to arriving, and ask that all visitors check-in at the visitors centre, located next to the car park.
You will receive a confirmation email with check-in instructions, and directions to Gwrych Castle once you've booked your tickets. Head over to our FAQ page to find out more.

Accessibility
The Castle was built into a hill, subsequently the terrain is uneven with many steps, slopes, and steep footpaths throughout the estate. Many of the footpaths along our standard visitor route are unsuitable for pushchairs, self-drive three wheeled vehicles and wheelchairs. Sensible footwear is always recommended.
We have an accessible route for disabled visitors during normal opening hours and excluding events, please make us aware at the Ticket Office if you require disabled parking and our accessible route so we can advise you accordingly. The route avoids steps, but does include a slope which can be tiring for a person assisting.
The gardens and the Chapel are both accessed via steps so are not accessible to wheelchair users | Please read more here
*We do not allow drones on site without prior approval from ourselves. Please contact us before using a drone on the Gwrych Castle Estate. You can find our terms & conditions here
Ticket options
Help support Gwrych Castle
If you are a UK taxpayer and you make a donation that is over 10% greater than the admission price, the Government will give us an extra 25% on top of your entrance fee, at no additional cost to you. It's called a Gift Aid visit and makes a massive difference to charities like us. Gift Aid is of course entirely voluntary.
