A year of stories, discoveries and contradictions in a castle (that’s not a castle), on an island (that’s not an island).
We've invited artists to create a thought provoking, memorable, emotionally engaging contemporary installation inside Lindisfarne Castle for 2020.
Travel across the causeway to Holy Island and discover this magical place. Lindisfarne Castle was converted by famed architect Sir Edwin Lutyens into a private holiday home for Edward Hudson, founder of Country Life magazine.
2019 is a year of stories, discoveries and paradoxes in a castle (that’s not a castle), on as island (that’s not an island). We’ve seized the opportunity, whilst the castle is still without the majority of its furnishings, to bring to life the stories of the castle, as yet untold. The exhibition called 'Now you see me' which runs until 3 November includes stories from the previous five centuries of the castle's history.
Before visiting the Island, please check the tide timetable to see safe crossing times for the Holy Island causeway.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
