CASTLE CLOSURE - 24 & 25 October

Due to forecast winds of 60–70mph, we have made the decision to close the Castle this weekend for the safety of our staff and visitors, as the site will not be safe in these conditions.

All visitors with pre-booked tickets will be contacted directly by email with their options. Please check your inbox for further information.

Thank you for your understanding.

This Halloween at Bamburgh Castle, discover the darker side of Northumberland’s history with Gory Stories – gruesome tales of some of the grisliest ways people have met their maker throughout the ages.

This Halloween, join our very own Jim in the atmospheric Keep Hall as he shares a collection of grisly tales from times gone by.

📅 24, 25, 30 & 31 October, 11:15am and 2:15pm on each day
📍 Keep Hall – meet at the bottle-shaped door, the exterior entrance to The Keep
🎟️ Included with standard Castle admission

⚠️ Not for the faint-hearted – this event contains mild horror!

Are you brave enough to join Jim for a Gory Story or two? 👻

Please note: Gory Stories is a family-friendly event; however, as the name suggests, some of the tales can be quite gruesome and may be a little too much for younger or more sensitive children. Parental discretion is advised.

Accessibility: Access to the Keep Hall involves steps. Please bear this in mind when planning your visit.

Pre-book your Castle admission via our website.
