Steve’s excellent customer review of Warwick Castle

Hi,

After buying a bargain with buyagift, we spent the day at Warwick Castle. If you have never been to Warwick Castle then I would go and treat yourself to a day there as soon as possible, and with buyagift the prices are fantastic.

The castle history stretches back almost 1,100 years, and the stories of the castle you get from the staff are superbly told. We also visited the Ghosts Alive section where actors jump out – very funny and enjoyable but over too soon.

The birds of prey show was superb and probably my favourite part of the day, seeing such majestic birds fly around breathtaking castle grounds was simply stunning. If you take a walk I would advise comfy shoes, as there is a lot of ground to cover and there are over 530 steep steps to the walls, so best to be cautious and not take your children up if they cannot walk yet.

The jousting shows were great fun and I think they run 3 or 4 a day, so you have no excuse for missing it, but get there early as at the back you miss most of the action. Right next to the jousting is the Trebuchet, it’s apparently the biggest working trebuchet in the world, and we missed it twice – well, better luck next time for us.

We will definitely be going back soon and of course we will be buying the tickets from Buyagift.
