The Castle is available for use seven days a week and when not needed for one of our club activities, our hall is available for hire. Indoor activities at the Castle have included theatre workshops, drumming sessions, yoga classes, council surgeries, children’s parties, excluded children’s activities, computer classes, martial arts, dance workshops and an evening youth club.
