I am visiting and need a carer with me, how do i add the extra carers ticket?

We offer a complimentary carers ticket to visitors who would not be able to visit the Castle without the assistance and support of a carer. This can be organised on arrival to the Ticket Office or in advance if you wish to pre-book your tickets.

When pre-booking, please purchase any paid for tickets and email your order confirmation and proof of carer status or explanation for needing the additional support to estateoffice@rockinghamcastle.com. The office team can then attach an additional ticket to your order. Please be aware that the office team may ask some additional information to organise this ticket.

If you are bringing a carer with you, some accepted examples of proof include: :

• A letter from the local authority confirming receipt of Carer’s Allowance or another document naming you as a carer from the local authority.
• Documentation from a GP indicating that you are registered as a carer.
• A registered carer card from another recognised scheme (e.g. CredAbility Access Card, CEA Card, work ID badge etc.)

Should you have any questions regarding what you can provide as proof, please contact the estate office.

If you are a carer and you wish to visit Rockingham on your own, not just as a helper to a person in your care, you would need to purchase an admission ticket at the standard price.
