Bamburgh Castle's new Christmas experience strikes a festive chord
It’s more than four months until Christmas but Bamburgh Castle is already ringing in the festive season as it unveils its spectacular new festive experience.
A Christmas Carousel is a dazzling festive extravaganza inspired by the songs and music of the season.
Running from Saturday, November 14 until Sunday, January 3, this seasonal experience celebrates the timeless songs and carols that have become the soundtrack to Christmas.
Created by acclaimed theatrical designer Charlotte Lloyd Webber and her award-winning team, the castle's magnificent staterooms will be transformed into a series of theatrical festive worlds inspired by much-loved Christmas musical classics.
Visitors will journey through enchanting worlds inspired by festive favourites including Walking in a Winter Wonderland, We Three Kings and the chimes of Carol of the Bells.
Along the way, they'll discover a magical snow-covered woodland walk, lavish Victorian Christmas feasts, beautifully decorated trees and elegant angelic installations.
Francis Watson-Armstrong, owner of Bamburgh Castle, said: “What started as a festive display has grown into a Christmas tradition for so many people, with families and friends now returning year after year. That brings with it a wonderful responsibility to keep surprising people while staying true to the magic that makes Christmas at Bamburgh Castle so special.
"Planning begins almost as soon as one Christmas ends. Charlotte Lloyd Webber and her brilliant team have been working with us since January to bring this year's vision to life, and we're delighted to finally unveil A Christmas Carousel.”
