Family Fun Castle Tours

Introduce your family to the magic of Northern Ireland’s famous royal residence in a fun and engaging tour designed especially for children and their families.

Many interesting and unusual guests have visited Hillsborough Castle over the years. But who were they and why were they here? Come along and help us discover the stories behind some of these intriguing guests.

This small group tour will bring Hillsborough Castle to life for children aged 5-11 and their families. Family tours will run at 12:30 and 13:30 on Saturdays and Sundays in July, or at 12:30 and 13:30 on 03, 10 and 17 August.
