Exhibition

Castle Howard's 21st Century Renaissance

25 April - 2 November 2025

Be part of history when you visit the House in 2025 as major restoration work in the House is revealed.

Marvel at a once-in-a-generation transformation.

See Castle Howard’s interiors transformed after a major restoration project, revealing the lost Tapestry Drawing Room, and a reimagining of the grand interiors.

Highlights include the unveiling of the restored Tapestry Drawing Room, returning to its 18th-century splendour for the first time since the devastating fire of 1940. This magnificent room displays 300-year-old tapestries originally created for the space in the 1700s, alongside the refurbished Long Gallery and Grand Staircase, and a complete rehang and redisplay of Castle Howard’s collection of paintings and sculptures.
