A poem written by one of visitors in 2011:

Come to Christmas Rockingham,
It really is a treat,
For Christmas at a Castle,
is impossible to beat.

The catering was excellent
Two venues, very wise
Attentive staff & festive food
You should win a prize

Exceeding "Downton Abbey"
Guides inform & entertain
Come to Castle Rockingham
in Queen Victoria's reign

How great the Christmas ambience
in hall & shop with gifts
God bless you all!
This event your patron's spirits lifts!
