CASTLE KIDS!

Castle Kids Club is open from the 18th of May

It’s our job to ensure that Castle Kids Club has something to engage all ages and all tastes, from babes in arms to the most independent of children, and we can assure you that there is always plenty to do and experience throughout each week, either in our playroom or activities around the hotel.

For our youngest clubbers, we know how important it is to provide them with a range of stimulating toys and exciting sensory experiences combined with affection and cuddles to keep them engaged and contented while parents relax. We also have a quiet area with cots for babies needing a nap.

We encourage our toddler clubbers to use their fantastic imaginations to take their play in whichever direction they choose, be that puppet making, pottery, cooking or studying the world around them.Our older clubbers may choose to involve themselves in our many outdoor sporting activities or may prefer to just chill out and relax, listening to music, playing the Nintendo Wii or getting involved with a photographic project or club production

Tregenna Castle in the snow and the wind.

Snow in Cornwall in February - it will probably rain frogs next week. Here is a video of the Castle in the snow, the wind was so strong that it blew some of the tables and chairs on the front lawn over.
