South East - Kent

There are many attractions to see at Leeds Castle including 500 acres of beautiful parkland and formal gardens, daily events and year round attractions from the Maze and Grotto, falconry demonstrations, shops, restaurant and cafés, punting on the moat and the world famous Dog Collar Collection.

From May to September, groups can see the beautiful gardens of Leeds Castle at their best with a pre-bookable walk with the Head Gardener. Discover the history of the Castle gardens as you walk through the Culpeper Garden and hear about the latest planting techniques in the Lady Baillie Mediterranean Terraces with the chance to get some tips to take home. Garden Tours are pre bookable for groups between 15 to 25 people. Larger groups upon request.

A new selection of specialist group talks on the Castle’s history are now available, focussing on historical themes such as ‘Leading Ladies of Leeds Castle’ looking at the pivotal females who influenced the Castle through the ages and ‘Arms and Armour’ providing an insight into the development of armour and weapons. These 30 minute pre-bookable afternoon private talks are available for groups of between 20 and 40 people as part of a special group visit package.

Groups have the flexibility to pre-book a discounted self- guided audio tour of the Castle or a ‘Behind the Scenes’ tour especially designed for groups and themed around 1930s life, architecture, Medieval Queens or the formal gardens (available in six languages).

Leeds Castle has a busy programme of events on offer in 2016. Click here for more information.
