To many people, their first sight of this glorious medieval castle can seem foreboding, and certainly its history lacks nothing in drama and intrigue. Some of you may recognise us as a film location, for everything from Harry Potter to Elizabeth to Becket to Blackadder. Yet I am proud that today Alnwick Castle is very much a living castle, at the heart of thriving estates and businesses; and is still our family home, as it has been for nearly seven hundred years. There is so much to see and do - history, art, landscape, fun for the children, dining, shopping, exploring - and I hope these pages give you a taste of our 'Windsor of the North'. Do enjoy this virtual visit and we hope you can soon join us in person.

Alnwick Castle is one of the North's most popular venues for events. That ensures that no two visits to the Castle are ever the same. We've a busy and ever-expanding programme so check back regularly to this page to find out what's coming up. Whether you're interested in music or drama, falconry or swordsmanship, wizardry or crafts – there's always something going on.
