Laxton has a wide appeal for groups of all ages, whether their interest is educational or social. All topics can be covered at the level required by the organiser. For school groups, Stuart Rose is pleased to tailor his programme to the specific requirements of teachers working on various National Curriculum or Key Stage topics. University undergraduate and post graduate groups also find Laxton to be a place of significant interest and their visits can also be catered for.

Group leaders are advised to contact Stuart Rose in advance to arrange a date and to agree the topics to be covered and the level required. Please advise of any special requirements at this initial stage so that people with limited mobility and disabilities can be catered for and gain maximum benefit from their visit.

If requesting a walk, please note that the castle is approx. 500m from the Visitor Centre and can only be reached on foot. Visitors need to be able to walk there and back over uneven ground and will need sufficient mobility and suitable footwear. If advised in advance, an alternative driven tour can be arranged for anyone unable to manage this.
