EUC Exeter Branch: Visit and tour of Castle Drogo

During our visit we will be taken on a guided tour, including a peep behind the scenes, and get to see a heritage building site in action. The inside of the castle has been transformed with protection work in place, collections packed away and the story of how this castle was built being told. Weather permitting, the 20 metre viewing tower will be open and you will be able to climb above the roof and see the work taking place.

Meet from 12pm onwards for lunch in the cafeteria-restaurant at 12:30. Lunch is followed by a guided tour of the building at 2pm with the opportunity to view the building and the restoration work from a viewing platform.

To register for this event, please contact Ian Thomson using the email address at the bottom of this page by Sunday 15th June at the very latest. We also need the number requiring lunch for restaurant reservation.
