We’ll be lighting five beacons at 7.30pm and there will be free entry to the castle from 7-8pm. A choir will lead a rousing chorus of the National Anthem at 7.30pm.
From lunchtime onwards the tea-rooms will be serving a special Royal Tea featuring a mini scone with jam and cream, an individual Victoria sponge, a chocolate brownie, shortbread, goat’s cheese quiche, choice of sandwiches and a pot of tea.
Please note the castle will be open as normal from 10am-6pm when normal admission charges will apply – free to National Trust members.
It will close for one hour at 6pm and reopen for the birthday event at 7pm, when entry will be free.
