Art and History Tours and Events

Why not make the most of your visit to Castle Howard by enjoying a rare chance to visit the spectacular 18th century Mausoleum, described as one of the finest buildings of its kind in northern Europe. These experiences give a rare opportunity for visitors to enjoy private areas of the Estate on foot, walking through over 300 years of history in our spectacular 18th-century landscape.

Join the Curatorial team and trace the development of the building, from the early intentions to later interventions. This exploration of the house, its designers, and its details will present Castle Howard in a unique way as it was intended to be viewed by 18th century visitors.

Join the curatorial team for a special in-depth exploration of individual objects from the Castle Howard collection. Reflecting their personal choice, each member of the team will choose a single item, and present it away from its historical setting.
