Castle Howard became famous all over the world when it featured as Brideshead Castle in the popular 1981 TV mini-series Brideshead Revisited, starring Jeremy Irons, Anthony Andrews and Diana Quick. Twenty-seven years later, a new generation will see Castle Howard revisiting its role as Brideshead Castle in a new feature film which goes on general release later in the year.

During the summer of 2007, Castle Howard was a hive of activity during the making of the new film that stars Michael Gambon and Emma Thompson as Lord and Lady Marchmain, Matthew Goode as Charles Ryder, Ben Whishaw as Sebastian Flyte, and Hayley Atwell as Julia Flyte.

Castle Howard opened once-ruined rooms in the High South that were used as sets in the film, and now houses a ‘Brideshead Revisited’ exhibition. These High South rooms were damaged in a fire in 1940, and their dilapidated state meant they could be used to house sets for the production.

Visitors will be able to see the sets constructed within the shell of the High Saloon, with fabulous views over the gardens, and a unique viewpoint up to the Dome and down to the Great Hall. Visitors will be able to see damage from the 1940 fire, sets constructed for the new film and exhibitions on new and old productions of Brideshead Revisited filmed at Castle Howard.

When visiting Castle Howard there’s no better place to stay than Welburn Lodge, a charming Grade II listed property that was originally part of the Castle Howard estate. Today, the friendly owners offer luxury accommodation as a 4-star Silver Award Bed & Breakfast, a finalist for the “Best Newcomer to Tourism Award” in 2007.


Guests at Welburn Lodge can choose from three individually-styled and beautifully furnished en-suite rooms that can be viewed on their informative web site at http://www.welburnlodge.com/
