Factology: Castles takes you over distinctly whiffy moats and beyond the battlements into the hothouses of medieval history. At their height, these magnificent, fortified homes were at the centre of major world events and packed to the turrets with life. Rulers used their castles to defend territory, stash their riches and house their friends and family. To do that they depended on knights and soldiers, and they also needed an army of servants, cooks and all kinds of craftspeople to maintain their cushy lifestyle. On this guided tour, you’ll meet them all, explore their world and see the extreme ways in which vicious invaders tried to spoil the party!

So, join us as we lower the drawbridge and usher you into the exciting, frightening and frequently strange world of castles.
