  • I had not been to Colchester Castle Museum since it received funding for an 'upgrade' some years ago. What a pleasant surprise the results are! The museum is well laid out and the displays are well...

  • Don’t go expecting your traditional castle, this is a museum inside the frame of a castle. Lots of beautifully displayed exhibits and interesting information about Colchester’s past, in particular...

  • What a great experience. We done the tour or the vaults too. Staff were great. Loved hearing the history. The castle is great for all the family. They have a small glass lift for wheelchair and prams. Thank you to them all
  • An incredible example of how to curate a museum. Very nice and enriching experience. Even on my own I felt like I did not miss on any important histories as the entire layout of the museum is incredibly comprehensive. I loved the interactive bits and they definitely engage an interesting approach to learning history, accessible to all ages! A small museum in a small town but an incredible history translated into an amazing visiting experience, well worth a visit! I also absolutely adored the miniature of the castle as it would’ve been in the medieval times, it’s one of the better examples of such miniatures I’ve seen ever!
