About Warwick Castle
Tickets and passes explained
A day ticket covers a single visit to the grounds and attractions. An annual pass gives unlimited entry across the year, which makes sense for local families who return often. Students have their own multi-attraction ticket, and a Parent & Toddler ticket suits those with very young children. Combined tickets add other venues, for example SEA LIFE Birmingham or Cadbury World, and usually stay valid for 90 days. Tickets are sold online, and booking ahead of the day is advised.
Staying the night
Short breaks bundle entry with a room on site. Choices include Medieval Glamping, Woodland Lodges, Caesar's Tower Suites and the themed on-site hotel. Toddler-focused Zog breaks and seasonal events such as the Festival of Archery change through the year, so see what runs on your dates.
Before you book
Gates usually open at 10am, though closing times vary. The Rainy Day Promise applies to certain tickets when the weather turns, but read its terms on the official site first. Afternoon tea can be added for a slower end to the visit. Bookings are paid by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Shopperazzi lists the castle's tickets and breaks next to other UK days out.
