Anyone interested in a new year job change and keen to work in a unique location could find a Northumberland castle to be just the change of scene they need.
Alnwick Castle is on the lookout for new staff and has a wide range of roles to fill ahead of its busy summer season, including some which are set to appeal to would-be actors or lovers of history.
The popular visitor attraction - which is itself a star of both TV and film, having provided a stunning backdrop on the likes of Downton Abbey's Christmas special and Hollywood blockbuster Transformers - wants to find acting talents to act as historical interpreters and performers.
