#LeedsCastle
Thank you for your impeccable organisation of our visit during which we had the opportunity to have lunch at ‘Castle View Restaurant’ and to visit the Castle and the gardens. Thank you to the efficient way of organising our group of more than 60 people into the Castle grounds in good time. We were impressed by the speed the food was served at the tables. The Fish and chips and the Sticky toffee pudding were just great!
De Netezonen
Just wanted to say a big thank you for organising our visit to Leeds Castle. Our members very much enjoyed their visit to the Castle, lunch and garden tour. We were also fortunate to have good weather! Andrew and David (Leeds Castle Gardeners) gave us a good understanding of their plans for the gardens and their knowledge of plants. A most enjoyable day!
Arts Society
I have had nothing but complements about every aspect of Leeds Castle. From the gentleman on the gate, the guides wherever we went, the café staff, not forgetting the excellent food, everything just made a perfect day. Thank you all very much.

I would just like to say thank you very much for our Club Adria group visit. All the Club Adria members had a great time even though the weather was not the best it could have been! We were looked after very well; we had one disabled lady with us who ended up for much of the visit to the actual Castle with her own guide – this was a lovely touch – great for her. The history of Leeds Castle is quite incredible.
