Went yesterday for their Victorian Christmas tour. Very interesting tour with an informative guide in the guise of the children’s governess. House was beautifully set out as it would have been on Christmas Eve 1949. We also had lunch there which was excellent. A most enjoyable visit.
What a wonderful day out, loads to do for garden lovers, historic buffs or outdoor lovers. The house comes with a guided tour with photographs and touching allowed. And do remember the best tours end in the gift shop. I can't wait to come back In the spring and then the summer.
A fascinating building inside and out, with great history and beautiful gardens. Like many other heritage buildings, Rockingham has guides in many of the rooms. We prefer this to a guided tour, as you can go at your own pace. On our last visit we chatted with he guides for ages and learned a lot of new information about Rockingham! There's a tea room with covered seating outdoors, and toilet facilities. The wild garden and formal gardens are well worth a walk around, there are some lovely views over the valley. If there's a downside it's that Rockingham Castle isn't open as much as some other sites, but as it's still used as a family home that's understandable! The 'Victorian Christmas' tour at Rockingham is very good.
We did the Victorian Christmas Tour last 5th Dec 2021 and would highly recommend it. The staff running the tour were dressed up in Victorian outfits and the Castle was lovely decorated like how it was in 1800s. Robert, guised as the footman was a wonderful guide and his sense of humour made the tour very interesting. Suggest to arrive an hour earlier to have enough time to enjoy the beautiful and well maintained gardens as well as the scenic views of the estate. There is a big Christmas tent set-up close to the entrance with tables and chairs that serves mulled wine, hot drinks, cakes and light bites as well as some activities for children.
Had a lovely drive out to Rockingham Castle from Market Harborough in lease than 30 minutes. Castle and Gardens for £11.50. Senior rate. Very interesting and knowledgeable guides. Beautiful views from the gardens. Well worth a visit. Extra bonus of Civil War day. Re-enactment of Pike and musket fighting. I'm now Civil War ready. Walked down to the Church and ice house. Lovely little church. Tombs to family members from the castle inside.
Great place and the gardens are lovely to walk through. Nice views around the castle.
Came here for the Victorian Christmas house tour. It is a gorgeous place but a little unfortunate you don't see many rooms. I'd like to see more, but appreciate that being a lived in Castle, that's a little more tricky. We did also have afternoon tea but my rating is NOT reflecting that experience as it would have dramatically reduced my rating. My suggestion is simply, don't have the afternoon tea.
Really lovely grounds and very lovely staff with lots of interesting facts too will definitely visit again. Thank you
A history of over 500 years.I had a nice visit to this castle.*****
Enjoyed our afternoon at Rockingham Castle visiting the artisan fair. Lots of lovely products available to but. It was a little difficult in parts as my companion was in a wheelchair and the fair was on 2 different levels and getting from one to the other was difficult as the slope was rocky and couldn't get it up the steps. Fortunately i was able to get the wheelchair up the slope and he managed with his stick and me supporting his other arm to ascend the steps. Had a great time otherwise, spectacular views of the surrounding countryside from the castle
