The State Rooms at Warwick Castle
The State Rooms, enhanced with waxworks from Tussaud’s, beautifully illustrate and capture the spirit of a bygone age. The ornate and intricate details of the furniture and decor is an unforgettable experience. The treasures of decades of family history lies here at Warwick Castle.
The Chapel
Used right up to the turn of the century by the families of the Earls of Warwick, this small but beautiful building with its stained glass and serene architecture dates back to the early 1600’s where it is thought to have been situated on the site of an older chapel.
The State Dining Room
The State Dining Room dates back to 1763 when it was commissioned by Francis Greville. Distinguished Kings and Queens have been entertained here. Some of the finest crafstmen in England designed and built this room.
The Great Hall
The Great Hall is the largest room in the Castle. It looks far finer today with its displays of armoury and fine furniture. In earlier times this would have been the heart of the castle. The floors would have been covered in straw, the room filled with smoke from the fires and the atmosphere dank and smelly.
The Stately Rooms
The Castle has further rooms on show, such as the drawing rooms, bedrooms, music room, library, ladies boudoir, smoking room, dressing room and several other rooms showing daily life and splendour of the castle and its opulent surroundings.
