Open House 2025

See how Bruce Castle and our neighbouring heritage sites are getting involved in this year's Open House Festival!

Bruce Castle: Tours and More

Sunday 21 September, 1pm to 4.30pm

Free, all welcome. No booking required, just drop-in!

We are trying something a bit different this year by having Open House tours on two Sunday afternoons during the Open House Festival.

Both afternoons at Bruce Castle, you can enjoy the following:

Visit our Old Kitchen Cafe for a drink and a snack between 1pm and 4.30pm
Free curator-led historical guided tours, every half hour. Drop-in and join a tour.
Show & Tell - Meet the Project Manager (Haringey Council) & see the current restoration works of the C17 Boundary Wall by PAYE Stonework with SKK Design.
For families: we'll be offering our Mystery Manor Trail for free. Step back in time and explore the historic building, uncover hidden stories, and discover the past around every corner! Aimed at families with children aged 5 - 10 years old, the trail is a stickered activity booklet in which Wilbur the Wyvern, a dragon-like creature, guides families around the building. Pick up your free copy of the trail from the museum reception.

For any queries, email museum.services@haringey.gov.uk
