PRE THE MAIN EVENT (4.15pm - 5.45pm)
GUIDED TOUR OF FARNHAM CASTLE - LIMITED NUMBERS BOOKING ESSENTIAL

The event will be held at Farnham Castle, where guests can pre-book tickets and arrive early to enjoy a guided tour of the castle. The tours, led by volunteer guides from the Farnham Castle Charity, have a fee and limited spaces. So book early to avoid disappointment.

Farnham Castle is one of the few remaining great medieval houses of England. Historical associations, almost continuous occupancy and careful preservation make the complex of buildings a significant and interesting survivor from the past. The powerful and wealthy Bishops of Winchester built Farnham Castle. For hundreds of years, it served as an administrative centre, fortress and accommodation, providing a convenient stopping place between London and Winchester. After 1660, the Palace became the Bishop’s principal residence. Many English monarchs, from King John to Queen Victoria have visited or stayed at Farnham Castle.
