WANTED: A Victorian Workforce!

Raby’s Butler and Housekeeper are on the lookout for enthusiastic, hardworking individuals to become a part of the Castle team. Join us for a trial session, where you’ll be taken around the castle to learn about the different jobs the workforce had to do during the year 1900. See where a Scullery Maid might spend her days washing pots, where a housemaid would have carried coals upstairs to light fires, where the servants gathered to eat their meals and practice laying tables. Do you have what it takes?

Numbers are limited on these special family tours where you will go back in time under the watchful eye of our friendly Butler or Housekeeper to see if you want to join the ranks of the Raby workforce. Which job would you like to do?

This special tour is for curious children (age 7+) and their accompanying adults, and will be approximately 1 hour in length. Tickets also provide all day access to Raby Castle (including Servant School), Deer Park & Walled Gardens.

Access: Please note that accessibility inside the Castle is limited due to the historic nature of the building.
