Come visit Lord Scrope’s household and learn about the turbulent time of the Wars of the Roses

It is the year 1461 after the battle of Towton, the biggest and bloodiest clash on English soil resulting in victory for the Yorkists. After recovering from wounds sustained in the battle, Lord Scrope has gone north to assist in besieging the last Lancastrian outposts of Alnwick and Bamburugh.

Visit the castle as the household prepares to finish off the Lancastrians. Experience the sights and sounds of a busy Medieval kitchen responsible for feeding the garrison, see the work of the tradespeople who kept the castle running day in day out and learn how you would fight and survive as a common soldier during the Wars of the Roses.
