The grounds of Kenilworth Castle are open. Takeaway catering is available and our shop is open, but all indoor areas remain closed, and safety measures are in place to keep everyone safe.

Please note that all of Kenilworth Castle's indoor areas are currently closed, including our Towers, Gatehouse and Stables. The toilet facilities remain open.
