Norwich Castle

Beautiful place, definitely worth a visit. Lots of exhibits to see. We were only there to go to the registry office for a wedding. Despite the prevailing storm, the taxi got us all the way to access the castle. Great occasion.

comes to a castle but get told you can’t see it,, absolute waste of time. a museum like this should be free,, absolute waste of money. i can name you a lot better museums to go to instead that are free!! exhibition were poorly executed,, we are very dissatisfied and disappointed :(

The Castle is undergoing a renovation from 2020 till 2024 so the only area that’s open is the museum. You can see the crane and some scaffolding around the museum. The museum ticket cost GBP7 and includes entry to the Norwich museum in another nearby location.
It holds over three million objects within its varied collections ranging from Natural History, Social History, World Collections and Archaeology to Contemporary Art and Regimental History. Many of the collections are of national and international importance. There are lots of exhibits on Norfolk wildlife which feature life sized animals on display, in fact too many of them and kinda unexpected to see these in a museum, I had expected more of historical stuff. According to the staff there the animal exhibits are animal specimens ie real animals preserved. There are also arts and paintings on exhibits. What I found really interesting is the exhibits of teapots from 1700s. Well worth a visit if anyone is visiting the city.

Currently only the museum is open as the castle is under reno. I went to an exhibition and also walked around the rest of the museum for free. I think I'd only been as a small child so it was nice to see everything and feel like it was for the first time

Only 4 ☆ because there's limited access, otherwise the museum is excellent. We found plenty to see and read, had easy access to everywhere, and a nice little cafe in the centre. The exhibits are well done (although again, some were missing, or had signs saying they were being changed). There were plenty of people visiting - The Singh Twins Art - being the most popular , and being absolutely amazing. This exhibit finishes on 21st January. It alone, is worth the entry fee. The entrance fee also includes a free entrance pass to Norwich Museum (within a 10-15 min walk from the castle). The castle renovations are due to be completed by 2024 - we look forward to visiting again to see it all finished.

First time seeing this kind of castle, and it's own unique designs (to be honest) i like the shapes of this castle. You can explore whole castle and it's art galleries 2in1 but for this year 2023 the castle staff said the castle is close/not working and you cannot explore visit, because it's under reconstruction works... so. But all in all nice place to visit and explore. If you guys will be visiting Norwich this castle it's one of the popular places of this unique and beautiful City. (i'll drop some additional bonus photos of all around the city places not only the castle :) ) enjoy.

Castle is under construction, so only thing you have access to is the museum.

The great thing is the deal for £2 if you come the hour before closing which I did. Which I think is enough time to see everything. There is natural history displays, historical, art, military, teapot collection and tapestry upstairs. They have a little souvenir shop and a cafe.

I have rated the attraction as if I would of paid full price of £6.70, which I do feel is a bit expensive for what is there. There is reductions for family groups.

All staff were very friendly, and I did love the adopt the artefact initiative which I thought was very novel. Would visit again when the construction has finished on the castle which is the main attraction.

Lovely Museum, despite the castle area being under refurbishment. Similar to another big museum in my home city Oxford. Minus 1 star because the toilets are in two different ends of the building for Male and Female which meant it was difficult to find, this could be due to the refurbishment, so did not cause us too much trouble! We got a free entry ticket to their other museum, on the other side of the city too!
