Summertime at Leeds Castle
Step into a summer of adventure at Leeds Castle, and use your admission ticket to unlock a world of adventures each time you visit!
Rev up your excitement as Motors by the Moat returns with even more action! On the 9th and 10th August, enjoy stunt performances, vibrant parades, and a stunning display of hundreds of classic and high-performance vehicles. Throughout the summer embark on the new enchanting Woodland Trail as you uncover intricately-crafted miniature homes of your favourite forest friends.
New for 2025, step back into the 1930s with the ‘Invitation to Decadence’ audio tour. You’re invited to explore the Castle through the eyes of a guest at one of Lady Baillie’s famous weekend parties as history comes alive with music and stories.
Take a leisurely stroll through the sun-drenched Lady Baillie Mediterranean Garden Terraces and fragrant Culpeper Garden. Explore three scenic walking routes through seasonal parklands, perfect for family photos with the Castle as your backdrop. Or enjoy a relaxing picnic on the Pavilion Lawn as you read a book from their new Pre-Loved Bookshop.
Get lost in the Maze, before discovering the underground Grotto. Let children’s imagination run wild at the three playgrounds. And why not visit the Birds of Prey Centre to see magnificent creatures up close? Learn about their behaviour, habitats, and the conservation efforts supporting these incredible birds.
