Sports at the Castle

Explore the past through play at Pontefract Castle! 

Try some of the sports, skills and pastimes that kept medieval people fit, fast and battle‑ready. Discover archery and falconry. There's also an early form of football and colf (yes colf! It's the foreunner of golf). 

Bring the Middle Ages to life through movement, creativity and role play.

There is a bookable SEND session for this event on Wednesday 19 August, 10am to 10:45am.

Free medieval-themed family activities at Pontefract Castle for the summer holidays.
