Alnwick Castle

Welcome to the official Facebook page of Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, UK.

One of the largest inhabited castles in England, Alnwick Castle has witnessed battles, rebellions, tragedy and romance, and has been home to a variety of interesting people – from Harry Hotspur to Harry Potter.

Enjoy a tour of the collections of art and furniture in the treasure-filled State Rooms, or join a Battleaxe to Broomsticks tour to find out about the Castle’s starring film roles.

Join our resident Hogwartian professors and prefects for a broomstick-flying lesson on the very spot of Harry’s first lesson. Learn medieval crafts and skills in Knight’s Quest, before putting your skills to the test when facing the beast that lies within Dragon Quest.
