Set on a hill overlooking five counties, Rockingham Castle was built by William the Conqueror. The Castle was a royal residence for 450 years. In the 16th Century Henry VIII granted it to Edward Watson and for 450 years it has remained a family home. The pre-dominantly Tudor building, within Norman walls, has architecture, furniture and works of art from practically every century including, unusually, a remarkable collection of 20th century pictures. Twelve acres of formal and wild garden command splendid views over the surrounding countryside. The Castle is open to day visitors on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from Easter through to September and from June on Tuesdays as well. Groups are welcome on open days or by pre-arrangement for a private guided tour on weekdays. The beautifully appointed Castle Gift Shop is situated in the courtyard along with our licensed Walkers House Tearooms which serve lunches, cream teas and wonderful homemade cakes.

Focusing on the health and wellbeing of our staff and customers remains our top priority. In line with national guidance and government recommendations we will close Harborough Museum effective from 5pm on Wednesday 4 November. Closing our museum, along with other heritage attractions across the nation, will mean tougher times ahead for those working in the tourism industry. We ask that you continue to support our attraction by rearranging your visit for later in the year or make use of our online catalogues and resources. We’re all in this together and will make sure our approach continues to reflect the latest government guidelines. Keep up to date by visiting: www.gov.uk/coronavirus and follow our social media channels to hear the latest from us.
