Really enjoyable visit, plenty of different things to see from a variety of historic periods. Had a great chat to one of the curators too who gave some fantastic insight into some of the pieces on display. Really enjoyed the weapons simulator, was good fun taking on the ACMT and fairly similar to the real thing!
Me and my friend really enjoyed this place, priced cheaply at around £5 each! There is memorabilia from years into the past, including vintage soldier outfits and more recognizable army ones. Medals show various ages too, walls are decorated with glorious frames and fancy dress is totally free on top of entry! Access can be made to both upstairs and downstairs, even the outdoor gardens by the castle too.
I was Very Impressed. Excellent displays in what is a very pleasant environment. The staff are well informed and helpful. Great collection of uniforms and badges and quite a breathtaking collection of medals. The castle itself is in a magnificent spot. I would have liked to spend more time both inside and out taking in the views but as its bitterly cold I moved on quicker than I expected. One point is that it is Not disabled friendly. That's the problem with old historic buildings. Cheap as chips to visit, in fact I think cheaper than chips. Highly recomend a visit.
A very interesting and informative place. Situated inside Shrewsbury castle it has some good displays and background stories to go with them. I would certainly recommend that you visit here if you are in the Town and all for £4 you can't moan.
Fantastic collection and well displayed. Really enjoyed my visit. A fascinating history of one of our fine regiments... covers most major campaigns of the last 300 years or so. Had a nice quiz to entertain the kids too!
