OH and I have been meaning to visit Broughton Castle for ages. We did 17th C Living History (it featured in the ECW) for about 12 years before ES was born but then gave up (he isn't camping material - proved by recent D of E expeditions!) Seems that, as it's still clearly privately owned, Broughton is only opened on Wednesday afternoons for 5 mins when there is a z in the month! We've just not made it yet! One day.....................

The Dogmother Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yes, it's open only on a Wednesday and Sunday, although you can visit that park (free) any time and the tearoom for free when there's an open day. I think we've missed the fete this year - that's usually in June and is great fun - a proper old fashioned one, and a re-inactment too. A good place to meet up is the Yurt at Nicholson's in North Aston - lovely food and superb cakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
