Visit to Carisbrooke Castle Museum
Wednesday, 8th February 2023 at 10.30 am
The Friends, in conjunction with English Heritage, have organised a visit to the Carisbrooke Castle Museum for members and their guests.
Founded as a museum of Isle of Wight history by Princess Beatrice in 1898, today Carisbrooke Castle Museum is an Accredited Museum and Charity that cares for an extensive collection of artefacts connected to Island life over the last 1000 years.
This exclusive visit, costing £15 per person, will include an opportunity to:
- Discover the history of the castle and the stories of some of its fascinating inhabitants with an introductory talk from one of our knowledgeable guides
- Explore the whole museum with displays dedicated to not only Carisbrooke Castle but also a wide variety of Isle of Wight history topics from local archaeological treasures to childhood toys
- View highlights of the castle itself which will be pointed out by English Heritage staff
- Visit the donkeys and learn about their work at the castle
- Enjoy tea and coffee refreshments with plenty of time to ask questions.
Proceeds will help fund the museum’s work in preserving and sharing the island’s history, as well as contributing to the Friends support of Osborne.
Bookings can be made online by clicking on https://friendsofosborne.org/carisbrooke-castle-museum-tour-online-booking-form/ or by printing out and completing the form below.
Members should assemble in the carpark at 10.00 am – those unable to walk from the carpark are allowed to drive in.
