Yarmouth Castle Education Admission
Education
Overview
Book a free self-led visit, and organise your day to suit your curriculum needs. Explore the castle at your own pace, spot the model canon and step inside the rooms to discover how they were used in the 16th century. Visit the exhibition to learn about how and why Yarmouth Castle was built and about the many shipwrecks that occurred in the sea overlooked by it: a perfect theme for a creative project back in the classroom. Dress up in costumes and use our handling collection to discover more about life in the Tudor period. Outside, look out over views of the harbour, and imagine how different the scene might have looked in the time of Henry VIII when the castle was first built.
