    Drop by the Castle's Learning Centre this February to hear stories about some remarkable characters from the Windrush Generation, and make a memento to take home.  

    In 2023, to mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush to British shores in 1948, His Majesty The King commissioned ten portraits of pioneering members of the Windrush Generation.

    Crafts will relate to some wonderful African objects found in the cabinets within the Castle.

    Activities take place throughout the half-term holidays in the Castle's Learning Centre. 

    Why not download a family trail to keep your little ones busy as they tour the Castle?
