Raby Castle’s Behind the Scenes Tours are a chance for visitors to step straight into rooms and corridors from a bygone era and glimpse rooms that have been locked for decades and suspended in time. Join us for a special edition as our Senior Guides explore the Royal connections of Raby.

Numbers are limited on these special tours as we glimpse smaller, more intimate rooms and venture down narrow passages within the walls, where our friendly Senior Guides look forward to sharing some of the lesser-known stories of Raby Castle and the people who have lived and worked here.
