MULTIMEDIA GUIDE

Groups will explore the history of the Castle like they haven’t before. With the Leeds Castle multimedia guide, they will discover every corner of the Castle as it focuses on the remarkable succession of influential women over its 900-year history.

Featuring professionally narrated audio commentary and new storytelling technologies, groups will leave feeling as though they have truly stepped back in time. This guide brings the rich history and glamorous interiors of Leeds Castle to life in a whole new way. They will uncover the stories of Leeds Castle’s six medieval queens to a 17th-century heiress, and, most recently, a 20th-century Anglo-American socialite, Olive, Lady Baillie.

The tour highlights Lady Baillie and her interiors and collections, and tells the stories of the people and events which came before her. ‘Rescue & Restoration’ is a recurring theme of the tour, which explains how Leeds Castle is different from other castles and the ways in which it is unique. Spanning 900 years of complex history, the tour provides an excellent overview of the significant events which have shaped Leeds Castle. 

Multimedia guided tours are available in English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Ukrainian. These can be pre-booked at a group rate of £4.00 per person.

I can’t thank you enough for a wonderful day all the Members of Upminster U3A had yesterday.   I forgot what a pretty setting Leeds Castle is with the water and gardens.   Everyone enjoyed themselves very much.

Upminster U3A

I booked a visit and tour of the castle for 40 of us ;none of us had visited before.  The team at the visits office were so helpful when I came to the Castle to arrange the detail and furthermore when we arrived the help we received to get the few of us who weren’t as able as we should be at our age  to get from the office to the Castle was magnificent. Nothing was too much trouble. Furthermore the actual castle was fascinating, great in fact best ever multi media tool and a super cafe. Don’t miss it!!

Our trip was wonderful so I would like to give a big thankyou to all your Staff who made our day so successful.
It was very easy to contact the Castle to organise the trip and the Staff in the bookings office sorted every question and problem I requested with ease and satisfaction so a special thankyou for all their help.
On the day we found the staff very friendly and accommodating including our driver responsible for the disabled transport.
