For those of my followers who live near Alnwick Castle, there are several events planned this Summer, details below:

This Week
At Alnwick Castle
Theatre Space North East are moving into The
Knight's Quest to perform their own adaptation of
Robin Hood twice a day for all to see. They will also be performing
two evening shows on the 1st and 2nd August of Henry IV: Part 1,
which is sure to be jam packed with drama. If that's not enough for
you why not master the art of flying with our very own broomstick
training lessons! Or maybe venture down into The Lost Cellars where
you will hear bone chilling ghost stories about Alnwick
Castle.
Take a more relaxed approach and join onto the Historical tour
which goes into great detail about the history of the castle or
maybe join the Alnwick 'on location' tour which is a behind the
scenes tour of all the films which have been filmed here.
A brand new Dragon's Quest promises adventure as you set out on a
quest with Harry Hotspur and the Dragon Catcher to battle the
ferocious dragon Rosie.
Seasonal highlights
Henry IV:
Part 1
Get ready for an evening of
entertainment as Theatre Space North East act out the
classical play Henry IV: Part 1 by William Shakespeare on the
1st and 2nd August. The play is sure to explore honor, loyalty
and the cost of power.
