Framlingham Castle

Framlingham Castle

Come and explore the magnificent 12th century fortress that is Framlingham Castle. The castle has long been a favourite attraction for Suffolk locals and visitors to the region and now 800 years of the colourful history of the castle is brought to life in a must-see exhibition.

Did you know that Henry VIII’s daughter, Mary Tudor, rallied her supporters at Framlingham Castle, and was named the first ever ruling Queen of England there in 1553? The exhibition, accompanied by new audio tours, enables visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in tales  from the past and all the exciting details of the history of one of England’s most historically important, yet relatively lesser-known castles. As well as the exhibition, you can imagine yourself back in Tudor times as you become ‘King of the Castle’ from the top of the impressive wall walk or explore the magnificent reef-fringed Framlingham mere, outer courts and moats. Younger audiences can also discover more about life in the castle with a variety of themed games and interactivities, so a fascinating day out for all the family guaranteed now that there’s even more to explore at Framlingham Castle.
