Tips & Advice
- Book your film tickets in advance online, as they are required for events, even if you have an annual pass.
- Arrive early to explore the Castle Keep and Black Gate before the film screening begins, as your film ticket may grant access.
- Consider purchasing an annual pass if you plan to visit the castle multiple times throughout the year, as it offers unlimited entry.
- Dress in layers, as the Great Hall can be cooler than expected, especially during evening events.
- Check the specific film's age rating (e.g., 18+ for The Addams Family) to ensure it's suitable for your group.
