There is plenty to do at Highcliffe Castle and a visit generally ranges between 2-3 hours. To see the Castle at your own leisure, we recommend between and hour to an hour and a half to be able to explore all three floors. If you have chosen a talk option, please allow around 2 hours for your full visit; the talk itself will last around an 45 minutes with time for questions at the end. There are also the grounds and the beach to enjoy on the doorstep of the Castle, so plenty to explore and enjoy!

- Group visits are available Sunday – Thursday between 10am-3pm. Please take a look at our options below.
If you are interested in booking a group visit, please contact us and we will be delighted to discuss our options with you.
New for 2025 – Highcliffe Castle Stained Glass
The Highcliffe Castle stained glass is as unique and eclectic as many other elements of Lord Stuart’s collection and had been badly damaged during the Castle fires and subsequent vandalism in the late 1960s. Professional conservation began here in the summer of 2021. Following three years of conservation and restoration, our exquisite stained glass will be on display for the very first time.
New for 2025- An Introduction to the Stained Glass Collection
Alongside our Introductory talk, we will now be offering the option to learn about the Castle Stained Glass collection. This talk includes information on the fascinating history, conservation and display. For those who have recently visited, this is a fantastic opportunity to see the glass on display for the very first time and understand more of the work that goes on behind the scenes.
