Title: Berkeley Castle Club day out.
Post by: Moleman on 18, January, 2014, 07:39:08 PM
I have contacted Berkeley Castle about a club day out, park on the site, & have a day out there. A bit like our Dyrham park day out but hopefully without the rain.

We would park up here, right in front of the castle.

We would get the use of all the grounds, cafe etc. But they have said if we want to veiw the castle it would be the normal price £10 adult per adult & £5.50 per child.  With this they will give us a free tour & depending on how big the group is we may even get a discount.  :)

It would be on a sunday & we can pick which sunday we like.

Thats a shame mate.  :(  If the weather ends up being nice there may be a possibilty that you can arrive late as I will probably be there all day & I will be able to get you in? What time do you think you could get there?   :)
