We’ve got over 400 years of York’s past in one place, from Elizabethan soldiers to Victorian debtors and from Georgian dolls’ houses to the Swinging Sixties. Come and spend a day in the past – see, hear and feel yesterday’s England. Walk down our restored Victorian street, Kirkgate; get to grips with weapons from Shakespeare’s day; find out how your grandparents dressed, ate, worked and played.

With exhibits that show you living history from the Civil War to the Space Age and interactive studios that really bring the past to life, there’s always more to see at York Castle Museum. Enjoy lunch in our café or bring a picnic and eat in the shadow of the castle. Take home some traditional treats from our sweet shop or share the fun with traditional toys from our gift shop.
