Make this Father's Day one to remember with a family day out at Hurst Castle. Dads and Grandads get in free when accompanied by their children or grandchildren (castle entry only); it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy quality time together in a unique coastal setting.
Start your adventure with a scenic ferry ride to the castle or take a leisurely 40-minute stroll along Hurst Spit for stunning sea views on the way. Step back in time as you explore centuries of history, from Tudor origins to its role in defending the Solent.
Climb to the top of the Tudor keep for breathtaking views across to the Isle of Wight, and enjoy wide open spaces where kids can run and explore. They can also follow a fun activity trail around the site, with a prize waiting at the end.
A perfect blend of history, fresh air, and family fun awaits you at Hurst Castle this Father's Day.
