Hello, Southsea Castle is not open to the public at the moment, but is normally open Tuesday - Sunday, and Bank Holiday Mondays, 10.00am - 5.00pm, April - October. The Castle is closed on Mondays (except for Bank Holidays). Last entry is 30 minutes before closing time. Admission is free. There is more information about the Castle on our website. I just noticed that we had not included our website on the Tripadvisor page, and I have now included the URL, but it may take a few days until the page is updated. But in the meantime, you should be able to find the website by doing an internet search for "Southsea Castle" (Tripadvisor will not let me post the website URL here). Andrew Southsea Castle staff
