The Round Table
The Great Hall is home to the legendary Arthurian Round Table, which has hung there since 1348. The Table has been dated to the 13th or early 14th century and was probably constructed within the Hall. The names of 24 of the Knights of the Round Table are written around the edge of the table, surmounted by King Arthur on his throne.
Open: All year, daily 10am–5pm except Christmas and Boxing Day and occasionally closed for civic events.
Guided tours available upon request. Group booking advised.
