Summer Adventures at Hurst Castle

Get ready for a summer packed with adventures at Hurst Castle. From hands-on history to wildlife discoveries, there is something happening every week during the school holidays to spark curiosity and entertain the whole family.

Step into the past on Tudor Tuesdays, where you can learn about life in Henry VIII’s fortress, or embrace the great outdoors on Wildlife Wednesdays, discovering the wildlife that calls the spit their home. On Throwback Thursdays, dress up as a soldier, read about garrison life and see how Hurst Castle has stood the test of time.

Young explorers can take on two exciting summer trails. Hunt down five hidden shields to earn a certificate and search high and low for ten letters to find the word and claim your prize. 

Free children’s activities run throughout the summer holidays, giving families even more reasons to visit, play and discover together.

Whether you are seeking the answers on our trails, spotting wildlife or stepping into yesteryear, Hurst Castle promises a summer full of fun, fresh air and unforgettable moments.
