As we approach October at Thornbury Castle, it is all about cosy afternoons sitting in front of the open fires, and of course Halloween! 🕸️

The castle really comes into its own during this season, with carved pumpkins adorning the castle entrance in a variety of ghoulish designs and candlelit evenings spent steeped in history – if only these walls could talk. Flavours from the season are used at dinner service from swede and cinnamon to dark chocolate and red w**e – a lot of the produce is grown here on-site in our Garden Kitchen. There’s plenty of Halloween-inspired things to do in the area like visiting a local pumpkin patch, spine-tingling tours or visiting the Witch of Wookey at the eerie caves of Wookey Hole.

Our package includes:

– Overnight accommodation in a Deluxe bedchamber
– Full English breakfast
– Hot drink and shortbread on arrival

Rates from £309 based upon two adults sharing a Deluxe bedchamber.

We are thrilled to announce that Thornbury Castle has retained its 1 MICHELIN Key in the MICHELIN Guide 2026, meaning we provide a ‘very special stay’.

Thank you to all of our amazing team for their hard work, commitment and first-class service in order to achieve this.

This is what the MICHELIN Guide had to say:

“There are castles, and then there are castles. Thornbury, mere minutes from Bristol, is not merely a Tudor-style castle, but happens to have been visited by Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn themselves. Today, even as it opens its doors to the paying public, it retains as much 16th-century gravitas as any place in England. And though its atmosphere remains decidedly historical, its comforts and conveniences are subtly up to date. Dinner is a memorably grand experience, as is the hotel’s lavish afternoon tea.”
