Knightzzz at the Museum

Knightzzz at the Castle is back!

If you’ve ever wondered what Colchester Castle is like at night, this is your chance to find out. Join the team for a sleepover experience like no other. Set up camp in your chosen spot and prepare for a fun-packed overnight adventure. Meet historical characters, enjoy a tour of the Castle (including spaces not normally open to the public), participate in some fun activities and feast on late-night hot chocolate before a light breakfast when you wake up.

“The activities before bed were great; sleeping in the prison was amazing. We all had lots of fun, the staff were brilliant! Thank you!”

This event is suitable for ages 5+; an adult must accompany all children.

For details of where you can sleep and prices, see our Knightzzz floorplan.
