The castle's education program draws it's inspiration from the last quarter of the 14th Century. An exciting era in the history of England, which the castle seeks to re-create in the minds of students with it's interactive program focusing on the role of the Castle, Knights and Chivalry in the feudal society of the middle ages. Students are invited to view the world through the tight occularium of the Knights jousting helmet, or to walk in the footsteps of the chamber maid as she trudges to the tower top to serve her Lady, or to experience the discomfort of those who find themselves serving time in the stocks. Included in the program is also a live Birds of Prey display by our resident Falconer, who introduces the students to a number of Australian birds of prey and discusses how their Europeon counterparts were used by the nobility of the middle ages. A minimum of 25 students is required to operate this program. PLEASE NOTE: To obtain maximum benefit from your trip we advise that you organize to spend a MINIMUM of 3 hours at the castle. NB: A modified program can be arranged for those schools who are unable to be in attendance for the full 3 hours or whose numbers full below the minimum required.
