Tamworth Castle remains in the top 10% of attractions when it comes to pleasing customers, according to new figures released by international travel website, Trip Advisor.

Trip Advisor has awarded Tamworth Castle a prestigious ‘2024 Travellers’ Choice’ award, based on a full year of Trip Advisor reviews. The award honours the best attractions, recognising the places that deliver the most exceptional experiences.

This award puts Tamworth Castle in the top 10% of all businesses and attractions worldwide and allows the castle to display the certificate on its website and all its branding.

In June 2024, Tamworth Castle also retained their official approval as one of the best small visitor attractions in Staffordshire, after achieving the Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Service accreditation; a quality assessment by VisitEngland, for the ninth year running.

Stephen Gabriel, Chief Executive for Tamworth Borough Council, said: “We’re delighted to have been given this very special award again this year. We are proud of the hard work that goes into making the castle experience a brilliant one for all, and we thank everyone who has taken the time to review us so positively and helped to give us this recognition.

“The council prides itself on offering such an incredible gem as a heritage attraction, with more than 900 years of history to explore inside this great monument.

“This award is well-deserved and demonstrates the hard work that our staff and volunteers provide every day. And our castle team have fantastic events planned for all the family to enjoy this summer, from celebrating Athelstan – the king of Mercia to a summer of dragons.”
