Castle Howard renovations

Step into 300 years of history at Castle Howard, one of Britain’s most famous country houses, celebrated as a location for Bridgerton and Brideshead Revisited.

A visit now reveals the result of a once-in-a-generation renovation, the ‘21st Century Renaissance’. This grand project unveils the lost Tapestry Drawing Room, meticulously restored to its 18th-century splendour for the first time since a catastrophic fire in 1940. Also explore the renovated Long Gallery and Grand Staircase, alongside a complete redisplay of the world-class collection of paintings and sculptures. This transformation of the historic interiors precedes the 300th anniversary of architect Sir John Vanbrugh’s death in 2026.

Home to nine generations of the Howard family, the house’s story is one of evolution and preservation. The devastating 1940 fire destroyed over 20 rooms and the iconic dome. The house was reopened to the public in 1952 after a long restoration process. Later, filming revenue funded the reconstruction of the Garden Hall and New Library, continuing the legacy of bringing this magnificent stately home back to life.

Castle Howard is open most days until Fri 31 Oct. Visits are self-guided and take from 40 to 60 minutes. Members of the welcome team are brimming with knowledge to answer your questions.

House and Gardens tickets include access to the Grounds, Skelf Island Adventure Playground, shops and cafes. Tickets for everything except the house are also available.
