A council spokesperson said: “The castle keep and the main house are still closed under Coronavirus regulations, but the team at the Castle are looking forward to welcoming visitors back into the grounds, free of charge, to enjoy some valuable additional green space in the city centre.”

Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead. Cycle racks are available within the Castle grounds to provide additional security for anybody cycling into the city centre.

The Castle’s opening hours are Mon-Thurs (10am-4pm) and Fri-Sun (9am – 6pm).
