 Notice of partial closures due to ongoing filming & conservation

We have confirmed a filming contract that will take place at Castle Howard, which will mean a period of closure of the visitor attraction. We hope you will understand that the decision to take on the filming project has not been taken lightly and we have considered options very carefully. Filming will finish on 9th October but there will be large vehicles moving around the site until later in the month. We ask that visitors take care when walking around the Grounds.

Over the coming months we will be sharing progress of several Estate conservation projects, which will inevitably result in partial closures of certain areas at times. We will always endeavor to keep you updated prior to any closures and we hope you will understand the importance of these vital works!
