To catch Leeds Castle at its most colorful, visit from May through August.

Christmas events are also eye-catching, with illuminated displays and Narnia themes.

Q: What experiences can I enjoy at Leeds Castle?

Falconry displays take place daily in summer, or on weekends and school vacation days during off-peak months. Look out for special events throughout the year; examples include Valentine’s Day dinner paired with an overnight stay in the castle, family-friendly Easter trails, the Queen’s Joust event in May, and the Leeds Castle Concert in mid-July.

Canterbury and Leeds Castle

Excellent way to combine sightseeing with transport from the ship. Canterbury was a beautiful town and the cathedral was breathtaking. I wish we'd had a little more time in the town. Leeds Castle was elegant and we enjoyed strolling around the grounds as well. The guide and bus driver were excellent as well. In all, a great experience!

Don't Miss Canterbury Cathedral

Kevin did an excellent job of relating the history behind Canterbury, Leeds Castle and the significance of the Dover area during World War II. He has a great sense of humor and was even conducting the tour in both English & Japanese! The highlight of the tour for both my wife and I was Canterbury Cathedral which a remarkable structure and, of course, a fascinating histroy.

Amazing and well-worth the money

Amazing experience! I loved each piece of the tour. Our guide, Chrissy, and our driver, Pip, were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. This tour was well worth the money, and the EvanEvans tours always provide very clean and comfortable couches. This one had a bathroom on board which I think is extremely important especially for aged customers.
