Get ready for a right royal knees-up at our Kids Rule events this May half-term. Join us in the grounds of Carisbrooke Castle to celebrate King Charles III's coronation with hands-on activities and fresh-air family fun.

Discover the story of the siege of Carisbrooke Castle, and learn the role the keep played during the 100 Years War. See if you can pull of your own siege in our have-a-go trebuchet game, before mastering the art of the blade at sword school.
