Warwick Castle glamping: 13 tips to know before you go
From spring, Warwick Castle’s Knight’s Village invites families to embark on a one-of-a-kind medieval glamping experience. Nestled in a secluded woodland grove along the picturesque River Avon, this enchanting escape combines historical charm with modern comforts, offering an unforgettable getaway within the castle grounds.
Immerse yourself in the spirit of medieval England with a stay in one of the Knight’s Village’s 31 Warwick tents or 6 opulent King’s tents. Designed to provide a unique and comfortable experience, these fully-themed accommodations make for the perfect family holiday.
The standard Warwick tents are ideal for up to four guests, featuring a double bed, two single beds, and a storage chest for your belongings. For those seeking a more regal touch, the King’s tents offer a luxury upgrade with a four-poster bed, two single beds, and an outdoor canopy complete with a table and thrones. Both options include power sockets, space for luggage, and room for a travel cot.
Just a short stroll from your tent, you’ll find communal shower facilities and the Knight’s Village Restaurant, ensuring convenience throughout your stay.
Here are some handy tips to make your glamping experience at Warwick Castle truly magical:
Book Early for the Best Options
Glamping at Warwick Castle is a popular choice, especially during summer and school holidays. To secure your preferred accommodation, like the luxurious King’s tents or the cosy Woodland Lodges, book as early as possible.
Pack for All Weather
While the tents and lodges are equipped with modern comforts, the British weather can be unpredictable. Pack layers, waterproof jackets, and comfortable shoes, especially if you’re planning to explore the castle grounds and Knight’s Village.
Don’t Miss the Evening Entertainment
Glamping includes exclusive evening entertainment. Look forward to mingling with real-life knights, enjoying medieval-themed activities, and soaking in the lively atmosphere of the Knight’s Village. Plan your dinner early so you don’t miss the action.
Upgrade Your Package for More Fun
Consider adding extras like discounted second-day entry tickets or themed gift packs for an extra-special treat. If you’re staying for the Zog Play & Stay package, the Zog & Friends Gift Pack is a great way to surprise your little ones.
Arrive Early to Maximise Your Day
Your overnight package includes one-day entry to Warwick Castle, so arriving early means you’ll have plenty of time to explore the castle, climb the towers, and enjoy activities like Zog Playland before retreating to the Knight’s Village.
Embrace the Themed Dining Experience
The Knight’s Village Restaurant offers a family-friendly medieval dining experience. Book a dinner reservation and try some of the themed dishes while enjoying the immersive atmosphere.
Bring a Travel Cot if Needed
The tents and lodges are spacious enough for a travel cot, making them perfect for families with younger children. If your child needs a cot, it’s a good idea to bring your own for added comfort.
Explore the River Avon and Woodland Paths
The Knight’s Village is set in a stunning woodland grove along the River Avon. Take some time to stroll along the peaceful paths or sit by the river to soak in the picturesque views.
Plan for Zog Activities if You Have Kids
If your children are Zog fans, opt for the Zog Play & Stay package. Arrive by 4:30 pm for the exclusive storytime with Princess Pearl and Zog. This magical experience is perfect for young families.
Make Use of Free WiFi and Parking
Your stay includes complimentary WiFi and parking, so you can stay connected and travel stress-free. Use the WiFi to upload those memorable photos of your glamping adventure.
Pack Some Snacks
While the Knight’s Village Restaurant provides meals, bringing some snacks for your tent or lodge can be handy, especially if you have little ones who might get hungry after an active day.
Take Advantage of the Discounts
Before you leave, consider purchasing discounted second-day tickets to explore anything you missed at the castle. You’ll find something new each day, whether it’s the castle dungeons or a historical reenactment.
