Wakefield Museums and Castles

General visits to Pontefract Castle do not need to be booked in advance.

For 'group visits', we mean organised groups of more than six people, clubs and organisations. 

If you are interested in bringing your group to the castle, we've got lots of extra opportunities for you to choose from.

From private tours, to creative workshops - and even paranormal investigations! 

Explore our wide range of bookable group activities on our group visits page. 

We've also got information about self-led group visits. Self-led group visits are free, but please let us know in advance. That way we can check for any clashes and help you get the most out of your visit.
