Went for the Christmas lights, they were fantastic.
Even on axwet and windy December night, the feel of Sudeley was great.
All the staff were friendly and the actors interacted with everyone and even managed to keep a smile in the rain.
Highly recommended and we will return in summer

Visiting Sudeley Castle during the Winter Spectacle of Lights was truly amazing for our family. The lights surpassed our expectations, and the staff's helpfulness and politeness added to the experience. The actors on the light trail were fantastic, and the overall layout of the castle, along with its beautiful gardens and views, is truly spectacular. A must-visit destination for families.

This was amazing! I went here with my family and I enjoyed the lights and how everything was set up. The theme for the lights was the wizard of oz and they even included characters which made this experience even more fun. Even if you don't want to see the lights everything is nicely set up. The gift shop is absolutely amazing they had baubles, books, magnets, scarfs and plenty of more that you can see yourself.
I 100% recommend this place if you are planning to go with family or just want to see the history behind it

Fabulous Christmas light display. This year wizard of Oz themed. The carpark was well organised, the ushers placed all round the grounds were very helpful and friendly. The characters stopped for photos on the way round, we couldn't fault it. Well worth the money for a christmassy evening.

A lovely castle with a lot of history behind it.
We came for the light show and weren’t disappointed.
All of the staff were friendly and there weren’t too many people.

Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting the area. We booked in advance and saved 10% on the ticket price. Lots of free parking, staff so helpful and friendly. Great cafe and loads for kids to see and do. Gardens opened at 10am, Castle not until 11am so we arrived at 10am and had a wander around the Gardens. Visited the Church in the grounds where Katherine Parr is buried. The Castle had a large exhibition over a few floors then you get to explore some of the rooms of the Castle. It's all really interesting and a great way to spend a few hours.

Stunning grounds and castle, with all so beautifully staged and preserved, you really take a step back in time. The exhibition of elephants and other animals was an unexpected surprise and very cleverly done. The disabled access was good made better through borrowing the manual wheelchair provided which was an all-terrain type. The cafe adjacent to the entrance is very nice, large inside space plus outdoor tables. The food choices were basic, a few rolls and all drinks in disposable cups. The staff were all friendly and very helpful, especially with the wheelchair.

A must do visit. This stunning place is a perfect day out. Go early to make the most of it, as there are SO MANY things to do.
The whole experience has been so well thought through, it really shows how much effort has been put into making this a wonderful place to visit.
There are accessible routes. Plenty of parking.
You can also go for a coffee or the gift shop alone, without paying the entrance ticket.
The gift shop is really nice and well priced.
Loads of things for kids, including fab playground areas.
The message of CoExistence (with nature) shines throughout.
The gardens are stunning, the beautiful church hosts the tomb of the only Queen buried in a private property.
The exhibition is a fantastic lesson in history and life from the Tudors onwards.
The private house rooms are very nice, photography is not allowed there.
I recommend this place 100%.

Wonderful privately owned house with bucket loads of history, oh and a Queen (Katheryn Parr - Henry VIII's surviving wife) buried in the family Church!
Thoroughly recommend the guided tour, was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered the house's history with wit and humour.
A truly unforgettable day out walking in the footsteps of Richard III, Katheryn Parr, Elizabeth I, to name a few.
