Conserving Walmer Castle

Walmer Castle has been awarded £3.08 million from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Arts Council England's Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND).

This funding will take us a significant way towards vital repairs to the castle’s roof, part of a £5.5m+ project to safeguard the castle and its collections for the future.

It comes as part of DCMS’s most recent announcement of a £127.8 million funding boost for cultural venues, local museums and libraries across the country, helping ensure access to arts and culture for all.

We’ll share further information as the project develops.
