Lots of you will not be local so I am aware that you may need somewhere to stay. The obvious place is the Castle Hotel but Tamworth has plenty of places to stay if you prefer to compare a few. Having not stayed in any of them I won’t try to give any advice, just some links to ones I’m aware of.

The new Holiday Inn Express is close (just over a footbridge from the Castle Grounds). Although its placement in the Snowdome car park is controversial and (to me) a trifle odd, this is the perfect location if you fancy feeding ducks, geese, swans and seagulls in your hotel car park. (The website author takes no responsibility for flora and fauna present or not present during your stay but would say keep an eye out for herons and grebes as well.)

Or there’s the Premier Inn, a little further away but still within walking distance of the Castle and Castle Hotel.

–Update–

Initially the Castle Hotel told us they would be unable to offer any discount for our guests. However we have now received some offer flyers from them. (See below, click to view enlarged.)

They have told us that any of our guests who booked with them before the offer was, er, offered will be automatically given the reduced rate. This is a telephone offer only and not available through websites.
