Join us on Sunday 27th September 2026 for a coach trip to Rockingham Castle. Included in the visit is entrance to an Artisan Market featuring food, drinks and crafts. 

This remarkable castle, founded by William the Conqueror, evolved from a Norman motte‑and‑bailey fortress into a Tudor residence. It hosted the 1095 Council of Rockingham, saw Civil War conflict, and later inspired Charles Dickens. Today, it remains a preserved family home overlooking the Welland Valley.

The coach will leave Sutton Bonington at 9am.
