Few historic houses can match Sudeley Castle’s long, curious and fascinating history. Spanning a thousand years the Castle has changed hands over a dozen times, has more than once been a Royal residence and has played host to at least six Kings and Queens of England. The Castle is perhaps best known as the former palace of Queen Katherine Parr, who is buried in St. Mary’s Church within the grounds.
Today Sudeley Castle is the home of Lord and Lady Ashcombe, Henry and Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst and their respective families.
Sudeley’s award winning gardens are a delight throughout the seasons - from the Queens Garden, billowing with old fashioned roses, to the Elizabethan style Knot Garden.
A variety of exhibitions provide a fascinating insight into the life of the Castle and its famous inhabitants. From curious artefacts collected by the Victorian chatelaine of Sudeley to a textile collection featuring re-discovered embroidery and textiles dating from the 17th century to the present day.
The Children’s play area has been refurbished for 2008 and includes a fabulous wooden fort, giant slide and more.
An exciting programme of family events runs throughout the year – check the website www.sudeleycastle.co.uk or call for details on 01242 602308.
