Learning, Education and Tours

We cater for all ages - from school trips through to group and personal tours; the content would vary according to your needs.

For schools, we offer curriculum opportunities which cover:

- Norman Castles: styles, purpose, siege and defence.

- Life in medieval Wales.

- The Lords of Gower, Welsh princes and their impact on British history.

- Fairy tales, storytelling using play and movement.

Trips are currently half-day sessions (10.00am - 12.00pm and 12.30-2.30pm).  Bookings are welcome for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during term times.  We accommodate up to 35 pupils per session plus teachers and parent helpers.  The charge is currently £4 per pupil.

For adults and groups:

- Unannounced groups (up to 15 people) charged individually at normal entry prices (£6).  Tours are offered for an extra charge at Friends' discretion (£7.50 with a tour).

- For larger groups, please contact the Oystermouth Castle Development Co-ordinator (07557 481467) to book in advance (£4 / head or £5.50 with tour).  Please consider your needs for the tour and we'll do our best for you.

Individuals and families:

- There are free tours (after admission) on Wednesdays and Fridays with additional tours on Sundays during school holidays.  There are two per day - 11.30 and 2.25.  The average time is (about) 45 minutes per tour.  However, many visitors get so fascinated that there are many questions (which we like) so could take longer.
