The Grade I-listed monument offers spectacular views out over the countryside and it will be open as a fund-raising event run by Alnwick Lions.

Built in the 18th century by the 1st Duke of Northumberland in memory of his wife, Elizabeth Percy, 1st Duchess, the 26-metre-tall folly was designed by the famous Scottish architect, Robert Adam.

A shuttle bus will run to and from the parking area and refreshments will be provided. Dogs are not allowed access to the park.
