We are hosting an experience day, which offers the chance to spend the day with Dunster Castle's Collections and House Manager. Taking place on Monday 5 February, it is not to be missed.

You'll begin the day with refreshments and an introductory talk on Dunster Castle by David Moore, Collections and House Manager, who has been working at Dunster for 12 years and in the National Trust for 25. You'll then embark on a bespoke tour of the castle, including areas not usually open to the public. This is a great opportunity to go into depth on the castle's fascinating history, objects, and characters.

Once the tour is over, you'll head down to the Watermill Tearoom for a delicious two-course lunch. David will accompany you and will be on hand to chat and answer questions.

After lunch, you'll head back to the castle for a hands-on conservation workshop. Discover different conservation techniques, how the House Team care for the castle's collection, and have a go at cleaning some objects yourself.

At the end of the day, finish your experience with a trip to the Stables Shop for souvenirs and local products before heading home.
