Cardiff Castle is Victorian Gothic Revival at its most splendid evoking a fantasy world of knights in armour and damsels in towers. In addition, the castle houses a great rarity, virtually the entire textile output of William Burges in the form of door and wall hangings. And of course, there will be dress of the period. Members will enjoy a private tour with specialist input on the textiles and dress. If you have never visited the castle you have a great treat in store. The Curator, Matthew Williams, is an authority on the architecture and design of the period and an excellent lecturer.
