About
Home to Elizabeth, Lady Ashcombe and the Dent-Brocklehurst family, Sudeley Castle & Gardens is a Tudor jewel with 1,000 years of history, formal gardens, events, tours and exhibitions.
Sudeley is the only private castle in England to have a queen buried within its grounds – Katherine Parr, the last of Henry VIII’s six wives. Today visitors can explore the intimate 15th-century church where she lies entombed. The castle and exhibition rooms contain many fascinating treasures, from ancient Roman times to the present day.
Outside, a breath-taking 1,200-acre estate surrounds the castle and 10 award-winning gardens. The centrepiece is the Queens Garden, so named because four of England’s queens – Anne Boleyn, Katherine Parr, Lady Jane Grey and Elizabeth I – once walked upon the original Tudor Parterre.
The whole family can explore the castle’s fascinating past and enjoy a host of exciting events throughout the year. Children will love scaling the wooden fort and whizzing on the zip wire in the famed Adventure Playground, as well as tackling a 10-piece assault course.
Sudeley has two cafes that deliver tasty, locally sourced hot and cold food from our seasonal menu. The Pavilion café can be found at the entrance / exit point while the Shepherd’s Hut on the terrace is a welcome pitstop on your tour of the castle and grounds.
Sudeley’s friendly expert guides host daily tours and talks, including exclusive ‘behind the castle walls’ tours to discover the private apartments.
