OLD WARDOUR CASTLE

CLIENT : ENGLISH HERITAGE

At this atmospheric ruin, a compact site popular with families, English Heritage wanted a new panel scheme with a twist - the whole site should work as a family challenge. Like most castles Old Wardour has passed through many hands and been confiscated or bestowed according to changes in political direction or royal whim; we developed a ‘Could you keep your castle?’ game setting puzzle, role play, memory and physical challenges for families to play together as they go round. By drawing on our suite of off-the-peg outdoor interactive tools we were able to make the budget go a long way, adding bolt-ons to some of the core panel scheme and adding a few extra interaction points drawing visitors to important spots.
