Combining magnificent medieval architecture with spectacular Italianate State Rooms, Alnwick Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in England and home to the Duke of Northumberland’s family, the Percys, for over 700 years. Alnwick’s State Rooms boast one of the finest private art collections in the country, featuring paintings by Canaletto, Titian, Van Dyck, Turner, and Dobson.
Alnwick Castle featured as Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films. Visitors can recreate some of the magic with a tour of filming locations or a Broomstick Training lesson, courtesy of our resident wizarding professors. The Castle has taken starring roles in several other film and television productions including Downton Abbey and Transformers.
Experience the excitement of the castle’s rich history, brought to life by our resident knights, ladies and artisans, together with a host of performers throughout the season. You might meet wizards, dragons, jesters and falconers on your adventures!
