Grimsthorpe & Drummond Castle Trust is a registered charity that relies on charitable donations to keep the historic Grade – 1 listed castle and wider estate intact and preserved for future generations, as well as open it to the public. Each and every ticket bought helps us towards this cause. We look forward to welcoming you at Grimsthorpe.
Help Protect Our Heritage
We are an independent charity responsible for the care and conservation of this historic site.
Your admission income helps fund conservation, maintenance, education and improvements across the estate.
If you’re eligible, please consider purchasing a Gift Aid admission. It costs you very little extra and allows us to claim significantly more to support our charitable work.
Thank you for helping us preserve this special place.
