Ruthin Castle is a royal Welsh gem just waiting to be explored.
With 60 ensuite bedrooms, and a large number that can be twins or double and a asortment of dining options.
Ruthin Castle provides a superb stage for hosting themed mediaeval dinners modeled upon the legendary feasts the Earl of Warwick (son of Henry VIII) held at the castle in the 16th century. Guests are recommended to start their evening of merriment with an accompanied tour of sections of the 13th century walls, dungeon, legendary whipping pit and drowning pool*.
Revellers then assemble in the Presence Chamber for the partaking of bread and salt, age-old symbols of hospitality. Fully costumed Ladies of the Court and the Court Steward escort guests into the lofty Banqueting Hall where they entertain, sing (in both Welsh and English), jest and lead the eveningâÂÂs feasting with daggers and fingers accompanied by a tasting of mead**.
