Royalty and rabble right to return to court

IN another sign that we’re starting to emerge from the pandemic, Kryal Castle will drop the drawbridge in time for the school holidays.

The medieval wonderland has been closed since restrictions took hold, forcing tourist attractions across the country to shut down.

Now the breaking wheel is starting to turn in the right direction, Kryal Castle’s general manager Melissa Dimond said her team was looking forward to welcoming the return of guests.

“We’re thrilled to be able to open in time for the school holidays, it’s a great boost for our hardworking team and for the Moorabool and Ballarat region,” she said.

“Our team have been working hard to ensure a new and exciting program for all.”

Of course, like a lot of things there will be some changes.

You won’t be able to just turn up and hope to get in, with all bookings and tickets being pre-sold online to help manage numbers.

However, the Castle is also taking accommodation bookings for the 22 room themed lodgings.

Operating hours during the school holidays are 10am to 4pm between 27 June and 12 July. After that Kryal Castle will be open on weekends between 10am and 4pm from 18 July to 13 September.
