Rainy Day Promise
GREAT BRITISH WEATHER
We're open every day, (except Christmas Day and a short closure in January), so you can enjoy the castle in every season!
- As Warwick Castle and Knight's Village is predominantly outdoors, we recommend that you come prepared for the weather.
- Please check the weather forecast before your visit and wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
- If the weather does catch you by surprise, you can purchase sun cream, ponchos and umbrellas in our gift shops.
- During the summer, a lightweight picnic blanket comes in handy to find your own shady spot or to watch our shows when seating is limited.
- During the winter, wearing lots of layers is useful as you move between any outdoor and indoor areas.
Our poor weather pledge
If it rains persistently for more than one hour during your time with us – and you booked your tickets in advance of your visit - you could return for free within the next 60 days.
Step 1: Check that your original visit date is eligible for our Rainy Day Promise below.
Step 2: Check our return visit dates below and decide when you'd like to come back.
Step 3: Read our full Rainy Day Promise terms and conditions below.
Step 4: There's no need to pre-book on the day of your free return visit, but you'll need to produce your original tickets at one of our ticket windows to be checked.
