Afterhours tours of Dudley Castle are returning this year.

The afterhours tours of Dudley Castle are returning as funds for its upkeep and restoration continue to be raised.

Dudley Zoo said on the turn of the tours: “Come and learn all about the 11th century castle’s rich history and life in the past from former Castle Keeper, Adrian Durkin, with each event focusing on a different theme.”

The first tour will take place on Wednesday 27 May when visitors can learn more about medieval knights.

There is another tour taking place on Wednesday 22 July which will focus on the English Civil War.
