Herstmonceux Castle Estate is a visitor attraction in East Sussex, set among woodland, wildflower meadows and themed gardens. Around 300 acres are open for visitors to explore, including the Elizabethan, Apothecary, Magic, Memorial and Sundial and Rose gardens. The estate welcomes visitors seven days a week and offers guided castle and garden tours, family visit information, refreshments at its café, and annual membership. Events throughout the year include garden tours, experimental archaeology and after-dark ghost tours.

Visitors can also stay at Bader Hall. The estate provides distinctive spaces for weddings, conferences, meetings and other events, as well as locations for filming and photography. Herstmonceux Castle also operates as the UK campus of Queen’s University in Canada. A major rewilding initiative is underway across 240 acres, in partnership with Bader College, Queen’s University and nature restoration company Nattergal. The project aims to restore farmland and create a more connected landscape for wildlife, research, learning and the local community.
