The Hidden Castle Skipton

The Hidden Castle is a one-of-a-kind role-play centre in Skipton, designed especially for children up to around age 11. Here, little adventurers step inside a fully immersive medieval-style castle and adjoining village, filled with secret passages, hidden treasures and themed zones that spark creativity, imagination and pure fun.

Within its stone-hall walls and timbered rooms, you’ll find:

A daring Dragon’s Lair, where brave knights and daring explorers can venture into mystery.
An Apothecary, where budding wizards and potion-makers stir up magical brews.
The grand Banqueting Hall, ready for a feast fit for royalty.
A bustling Medieval Market, where children become merchants and townfolk, trading, role-playing and engaging with props built to delight.
A Farm & Village Zone, with medieval-style tasks to try, rooms to explore and plenty of story-building to enjoy.

Built by the same team behind The Hidden Village, this new centre blends authentic antiques, real interactive props and beautifully crafted wooden features to create an environment that feels rich, calm and immersive. With attention to grown-ups as much as kids, it’s a space you’ll enjoy too, whether you’re relaxing in the café, watching children dive into adventure, or capturing photo-worthy moments in every nook.

Located in Skipton town centre, The Hidden Castle offers the perfect mix of fantasy, role-play and curiosity-led learning, all wrapped up in a medieval-wonder-day-out. Whether it’s a family visit, a birthday party or just a special play-date, this is somewhere that turns day-dreams into real-world adventure.
