A peaceful place to sit and relax. It's free to visit and dogs are welcome on the lead. Events are held during the year both on the bandstand and within the grounds, with the Viking Reenactment and Civil War Reenactment being our favourites.

A lovely viewpoint by the river Trent the castle offers history lovers an insight into Newark’s rich history, being the place of King John's death in 1216. During the summer months bring a deck chair and a picnic and maybe catch one of the Sunday afternoon brass band concerts with performances from bands from all over the country.
