Colchester Castle, Europe’s largest Norman Keep, will once again be throwing open its historic doors at night for you to enjoy the ultimate in sleepover experiences. If you’ve ever wondered what Colchester Castle is like after dark, now you can find out!
Suitable for the whole family (5+), Knightzzz at the Museum offers plenty of fun, laughter and memory-making experiences. Meet historical characters, enjoy a tour of the Castle (with some spooky tales thrown in, exploring parts of the Castle not usually open to the public), and take part in fun activities before settling down for the night with a hot chocolate treat.

Councillor Pam Cox, Portfolio Holder for Culture and Heritage, said: “There is no doubt that Knightzzz at the Museum provides the ultimate sleepover experience. You can choose where you sleep – from the atmospheric Lucas Vault, historic prisons, calm chapel, or on the main galleries – you just need to ask yourself if you are brave enough to spend the night! The friendly team can’t wait to welcome you, so all you need to do is get your overnight bag ready and head to the Castle for an unforgettable evening and take your place in the Castle’s rich history!”
