Marvel at a once-in-a-generation transformation.
After several years of planning, Castle Howard's 21st Century Renaissance has finally been revealed. The once-in-a-generation transformation includes the unveiling of the lost Tapestry Drawing Room, now restored to its 18th-century grandeur following a devastating fire in 1940.
Witness the breathtaking restoration using traditional heritage skills from craftspeople, and be among the first to see these magnificent historic transformations.
Highlights include the refurbished Long Gallery and Grand Staircase, and a complete rehang and redisplay of Castle Howard’s collection of paintings and sculptures.
