Warwick Castle to closed due to coronavirus outbreak

The team at Warwick Castle have had to make the decision to close the attraction.

Earlier this week the team announced that some of the attraction within Warwick Castle had been closed and that measures had been put in place to help create social distancing.

Now just days later the team has issued a statement saying both the castle and the Knight's Village will be closed as of Saturday to help protect guests and staff.

The statement says: "Further to recent updates from the Government on the response to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, we have taken the very difficult decision to close Warwick Castle and Knight’s Village as a precautionary measure from Friday 20th March at 4pm, until further notice.

"While we always look forward to welcoming visitors, we believe that this decision is the right thing to protect the health and wellbeing of our employees and guests.

"If you have pre-booked a short break or Warwick Castle tickets, please do not travel.

"Warwick Castle will remain closed until further notice.

"We are in contact with the relevant authorities and will work to reopen the attraction to guests as soon as it’s appropriate to do so.

"We will be contacting guests with bookings to stay at Knight’s Village between March 19 and April 25 to advise them on how to rearrange or cancel their bookings."
