Get Your Hands on Some Living History

No shuffling around a quiet museum or staring at an empty ruin here!

Tamworth Castle really does bring history to life with fun re-enactments and superbly staged scenes from the past with regular Living History Days.

Did they really live like this?

Why not ask them yourself as families and servants cook, entertain or eat in period-style right in front of you?

Active history doesn’t stop there with a range of events happening during half-term and school holidays including children’s drop-in workshops – great fun & messy, they’ll love it!

Staffordshire Hoard

In 2011 Tamworth Castle hosted the sell-out exhibition of the key pieces of Saxon Gold when it returned home to the ancient capital of Mercia. Look out for more exhibitions coming this year and discover more about the Mercian Trail.
