Take a step back in time with a visit to Conisbrough Castle. Dating back to the 12th Century, this castle inspired the Ivanhoe novels of Sir Walter Scott and will inspire you with its stunning views over the region and authentic medieval atmosphere. You can almost hear the lords and ladies at play around the castle’s walls.

Discover Danum Gallery, Library and Museum in Doncaster, the place where a unique set of experinces blend together to create a brilliant visit for anyone. From a gallery and museum that features artefacts from Doncaster's rich history, the preserved front of a 1910 girls school, a library full of books and more, and a stylish cafe in the centre of it all so you can wind down after a day of fun, the DGLAM has it all!

Venture to Enigma Rooms and Viking Axe thowing, with four specially themed escape rooms that will have you puzzled and engaged, plus a viking axe throwing experience, and an interactive darts bar known as the Oche Club, you'll be spoiled for choice! Do you dare to go and test your limits?

Why not go to Doncaster Racecourse? One of the oldest racecourses in the world. There’s little to beat the excitement of raceday and the world-famous annual St Leger is celebrated with a week of entertainment and festivities.

Pay a visit to one of the largest and best markets in the UK. At Doncaster Market you’ll find over 400 stalls full of interesting things to buy. You’ll also come across The Corn Exchange at the heart of the market, a stunning Victorian building with great atmosphere.

Explore Doncaster’s manufacturing past at The South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum which offers a collection of over 70 aircraft and 100 engines - and a chance for kids to experience sitting in one of the cockpits.

For more history and beauty visit Doncaster Minster, an 11th-century church that has been the centre of community activities since the time of the Romans. You’ll find the large gothic arches and stained glass windows to be breathtaking.

We highly recommend Brodsworth Hall, a Victorian country house with fabulous pleasure gardens attached. Everything has been restored to its original magnificence and the architecture will be sure to impress your entire group. For an extra hidden pleasure, see if you can find the fern dell grotto within the gardens before popping to the tearoom.
