Stored secrets exhibition

Are you brave enough to learn about our killer collection? How about trying some Regency exercise equipment? You might be surprised to find out what we have stored here at Castle Drogo...

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

From the 27 March we will be displaying some of our most exciting items kept safely in storage here at Castle Drogo. From items that need special storage procedures due to their danger, to objects so large they need a custom-built frame just to be displayed, we're unveiling our stored secrets.

The exhibition will be held in the Night Nursery towards the end of the usual visitor route. Open seven days a week (reliant on volunteer availability) this is not an exhibition to be missed.
