Beeston Castle and Woodland Park

The weather forecast for 04/04/26 is set for high winds this afternoon and this may mean we have to close Beeston Castle at short notice. If you have tickets or are planning to visit on this day, please check this webpage or social media before setting off. We always do everything we can to avoid unexpected closures.
