Raby Castle is a living piece of medieval history—a grand stately home rich in architecture, art, and noble heritage. With evolving landscapes, engaging family experiences, and thoughtful restorations, it offers a vibrant destination where history comes alive for today’s visitors.
Blending historic charm with contemporary design, the five-acre Walled Gardens offer a tranquil horticultural retreat. Highlights include restored 18th-century yew hedges, the historic White Ischia fig tree, and modern features like a grass amphitheatre. It’s a peaceful setting for relaxation, exploration, and seasonal events.
Spanning 200 acres of scenic parkland, Raby’s Deer Park is home to free-roaming red and fallow deer. Visitors can enjoy peaceful walks, wildlife spotting, and the calming beauty of nature. Open daily, it’s an ideal family-friendly destination for outdoor adventure and nature appreciation.
The Plotters’ Forest is an immersive woodland playground for children aged 4 to 12. Set within a Christmas tree plantation, it features treetop tunnels, musical instruments, and creative play areas that encourage outdoor exploration in a natural environment.
Come browse the stalls throughout the magnificent Riding School and Dutch Barn and discover lots of delicious treats, seasonal produce, beautiful homemade products, and food stalls from handpicked, high-quality, local suppliers.
From hand crafted jewellery, unique homewares to mouth watering local produce, there is something for everyone.
Discover a beautifully curated retail experience in The Coach House at Raby Castle. Set within a thoughtfully restored space, our shop showcases a handpicked selection of homeware, gifts, toys, and lifestyle products.
We’re proud to work with a range of exceptional brands, including Neptune, Jellycat, Bamford, Daylesford Organic, Tutti & Co jewellery, and Falcon enamelware—offering visitors high-quality pieces you won’t find on every high street.
