Visited the Castle building for the first time recently and I was very surprised at how well it is maintained and how much history is attached to it dating back as far as the 10th century. It has had a long association with various Kings and Elizabeth 1 was a frequent visitor. The names associated with the castle also give their names to buildings in the area like the Salisbury, Cowper Arms and the College Arms. There is an interesting visual presentation of the history of the castle in a 10 minute video. The robing room for the Mayor is interesting as is the tour of the dungeon area. The castle grounds have the River Lea flowing alongside and the gardens are well maintained. The castle grounds are the site for various events during the year such as Rock at the Castle and the Food and Drink Festival. Well worth a visit at any time, but especially if combined with one of the above. It is also a wedding venue and accommodates the Hertford Town Council. A visit can last up to an hour or longer if all the historical information is studied. Entry is free, but a donation for the upkeep of the building is welcomed.

This venue is very versatile. Good for business meetings, reunions etc as well as weddings and parties. Reasonable rates and the staff are professional and helpful.
The location is amazing, beautiful grounds and right by town centre so easy to access.
I've been to a few events here and have never been disappointed.

My wife and I visited Hertford Castle for a wedding on Saturday.
The grounds are lovely and the castle is of course beautiful.
We thoroughly enjoyed the wedding which was well organised and all who attended had a lovely day in this idyllic setting.
Hertford Castle is a lovely setting and we would recommend a visit to the castle and grounds.

Visited Hertford town and castle today. Had a lovely time, my son was amazed exploring the castle rooms, especially fascinated by the ‘dungeon’. Some lovely dresses for children to try on too. The staff working here today were very polite and friendly. I highly recommend a visit to this lovely area.

We went along to the Teddy Bear's Picnic last July and really enjoyed it. The event itself was free and there were some free of charge teddy bear games, Punch and Judy show and some river rides (although we didn't do those). Also chargeable bouncy castle, craft making etc. The castle was open and my son enjoyed looking around the dungeon, and both children enjoyed completing the teddy bear trail.

we called in whilst the classic cars were on display on the green.
have a look for the portraits of mayors through the ages. See how fashion has changed.
A video was playing in one of the large ground floor rooms, gave a good history of the castle from the time of the first timber buildings.

I have visited this place many times in the past and have very fond memories of it with friends. A great place full of life and a wonderful river full of ducks and other creatures. A main issue are all the teenagers hanging out around a small brick structure near the lake with benches and a roof. They can often been smoking, indulging themselves in drugs or sometimes even fornicating when less people are present. Other than the lack of control of lurking teenagers often with illegal substances, this place is great for the family.

Well worth a visit in this attractive town with its location inside the park so a good place to take your picnic. Really a Keep not a castle but does not lessen the attraction
