Tynemouth Priory and Castle

The Choir, Chapel and Presbytery areas of Tynemouth Priory are closed for essential maintenance, so we’re offering visitors a 30% discount. Plus, to help celebrate the Great British Summer, VAT on family days out has been cut from 20% to 5% until 1 September – and we’re passing on every penny of savings to you. The saving will be automatically applied when you check out. And don’t forget, you get an extra 15% off tickets when you book in advance.

Build your own … forest

Throughout England’s history, people have always been connected to forests, whether they lived in a palace, castle, abbey or village. Forests provided timber for building houses and firewood to keep warm, while kings and queens hunted among the trees.

What will your forest look like? Which trees, flowers, bushes and plants will you have? What animals will call it home? Follow the trail (one of four World Builder Challenge trails at our sites) and come up with your own answers.

Find out more about the World Builder Challenge trails and where you can find them.
