Lumley Castle

Elizabethan Banquets

Held most weekends (see below for available dates)

Come live like Lords and Ladies and experience a night out you will never forget!

Who needs, or would want, an excuse not to eat, drink and be merry? And what better way to do just that than in a grand setting which will transport you back in time to one of the most glorious periods in history. Lumley Castle's award winning Elizabethan Banquet is the perfect entertainment for those wishing to enjoy an evening of fun, feasting and merriment.

At a banquet you will step straight into the pages of Elizabethan history and savour a unique atmosphere that has been centuries in the making. A feast of fine food, wine, mead and entertainment awaits.

The year is 1591 and you are invited to attend the banquet feast of Sir Jon Lumley. Before the banquet starts the doors to the dungeons and guardroom are thrown open where wine, ale and mead can be purchased. You will be greeted with a friendly smile but take heed to be well behaved or his Lordship's executioner will deal with you!
