SOLD OUT | TO CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY THIS YEAR, WE’LL BE BRINGING BACK OUR POPULAR WOMEN OF RABY TOUR.Adult – £25, Concession – £20.00, Raby Member – £20.00
These exclusive events at Raby Castle highlight stories of some of the fascinating women who once walked our halls. From the familiar history of Cecily Neville, known as the ‘Rose of Raby’, to the lesser-known experiences of the women who worked in the household, this surprising tour will put working women, botanists, artists, and court influencers under the spotlight. The tour will also explore how women are depicted in some of the most iconic artworks in the castle collection. Join our Senior Guides for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into rooms beyond the public route and gain an insight into these historic women who have shaped Raby’s future today.
