Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle welcomes school visits from all over the world, all year round. As part of our charitable mission we offer special subsidised rates to schools from Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and London. 

The new National Curriculum

Leeds Castle has over a thousand years of history, so why not come and visit us for your Local History studies; did you know King Henry VIII stayed here in 1520? An updated workshop entitled ‘Party in the Park’ looks at this significant event.

In 2015 we will be launching our new workshop entitled ‘From Cave to Castle’, an interactive session for KS2 pupils covering the Hunter Gatherer period right through to 1066. A timeline in drama and fun!

Whether your pupils are early learners, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4 or adult learners, and whatever you are studying, Leeds Castle can provide a session, workshop, talk, tour or written resource.

Visits for UK Schools

Themed workshops, self-guided visits and fun-packed itineraries ensure your school group will learn that there is so much more to Leeds Castle than history.

Themed Workshops for UK Schools

The workshops cover a range of sections within the English, History, Art and Design, Science and Geography areas of the National Curriculum. All workshops must be booked in advance.

Leeds Castle also hosts Go Ape Leeds Castle and the Dog Collar museum, a collection of dog collars, mostly dating from the Middle Ages.
