Activity Detail Page

Originally built by William the Conqueror, Lincoln Castle is one of the finest remaining Norman Castles in the country. It houses one of only four remaining original copies of Magna Carta and has been used as a castle, a prison and a court for over 900 years. The still operational Crown Court and the only Victorian prison chapel of its kind, provides a haunting reminder of its past. During the summer months, the Castle holds numerous events including Medieval jousting, historical re-enactments, children's fun days, open-air theatre and concerts.
