We’re transforming the castle into a magnificent visitor attraction.
Come and explore this hidden gem in the Worcestershire countryside!
Hartlebury Castle is a Grade I listed hidden gem in the Worcestershire countryside that served as the Bishop of Worcester’s residence for over 1,000 years. The Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust has secured funding to transform this magnificent building into a unique visitor attraction combining the bishops’ rooms, the internationally significant Hurd Library, the gardens and the County Museum. Historic features will be conserved, the garden restored, interpretation developed, and visitor facilities will be improved with a new café, play area, and expanded car park. Over the next 12 months different aspects of the site will open for visitors to enjoy and a programme of activities will allow the public to take part in this momentous journey.
The County Museum will be open throughout this period, with access to their amazing collections and atmospheric room sets. Find out more about Museum Worcestershire’s collections and everything you need to know to plan your visit on the Museums Worcestershire website.
