After months of closure, Auckland Castle is to reopen its doors for a new season which will give visitors a chance to catch up with the ongoing drive to offer a range of attractions across one site.
The castle at Bishop Auckland, County Durham, will be back in business from Wednesday when it will emerge from its winter closure to welcome back visitors with its spring programme. Tickets are now on sale.
Returning visitors also will be able to reap the rewards of the new season with walks in the castle gardens and grounds. The grounds and deer park - a stone's throw from the Kynren site which itself is gearing up for its 2022 return - are always a huge draw at the castle and will be coming to life in the warmer weather.
