Herstmonceux CastleNear Hailsham, East Sussex, England
Built during the reign of King Henry V in the mid 15th Century, Herstmonceux Castle combines the history of medieval England and the romance of Renaissance Europe. Today, following complete renovations, Herstmonceux has opened its doors to a new era of learning and enlightenment.
Set amid rolling parklands and superb formal gardens, the Castle is the embodiment of English culture and history and the perfect location for a medieval festival. Along with a beautiful surrounding lake, the walled gardens to the Castle rear are magnificently presented and serve as a haven of peace and tranquillity, as indeed does the Castle courtyard. The gardens are open to the public during the Festival but the Castle itself is closed. A Castle History Book is available by mail order priced: £5.00 UK and £7.00 overseas (including P&P) Payment in sterling only by credit card or cheques made payable to: Herstmonceux Castle Enterprises at Herstmonceux Castle Hailsham East Sussex BN27 1RN FAO: Shop Manager NB: Please include a delivery address |
