A year of seeing the castle in a new light. In a castle (that’s not a castle), on an island (that’s not an island).
Our gardens, parks, cafés, shops, countryside locations and many houses are open. You no longer need to pre-book at many places. Some still require booking ahead, so please check the property webpage before you travel.
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.
British art duo Heinrich & Palmer are set to open at Lindisfarne Castle with a new artwork Limelight in 2021.
Limelight takes an imaginative journey through the Castle using a combination of lighting, video projection and sound. It’s been inspired by the island’s dramatic Northumberland Coast setting, and the sea and shifting light will help to add to the castle experience.
Before visiting the Island, please check the tide timetable to see safe crossing times for the Holy Island causeway.
