The Great Hall with Westgate Museum

Built by William the Conqueror, Winchester Castle was once the seat of power for medieval monarchs – a stronghold of history and legacy. Though much of the original structure has been lost to time, two remarkable survivors remain: The Great Hall, one of the finest medieval halls in England, and the imposing Westgate, which once served as the castle’s primary defence.

Step inside the legendary Great Hall and marvel at its soaring arches, rich history and the iconic Round Table, linked to King Arthur’s legend in popular fiction, and walk through the formidable Westgate, where echoes of centuries past still linger in the stone.

There are plenty of hands-on activities for all the family to enjoy during your visit. Try on a replica coat of armour and Tudor costumes and pose for a photograph! Make a brass rubbing to take away and have a go at the Westgate spotter trail.
