Coronavirus opening update

We are sorry that Muncaster Castle including the Gardens, Hawk & Owl Centre and all our other attractions & facilities must continue to be closed on Government advice. Together we will beat this bug!

However, we will do our best to post images and short video clips of beautiful Muncaster as we go through spring. Although you can’t enjoy being here in person we hope you’ll like seeing occasional updates from us as we do our best to ensure all our wonderful visitors can come back once this emergency situation is over.

We will extend all valid Friends of Muncaster cards for whatever our enforced closed period will be. Please watch our social media feeds including Facebook & Instagram and we will do our best to keep you informed and occasionally entertained

Stay safe, take care and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back again. Wish you were here!

Iona, Peter & Isla Frost-Pennington
