Go Behind The Scenes At Auckland Castle Thursday, 13 May 2021

A special film, documenting some of this extensive work, has been produced to take visitors behind the scenes where they can catch a glimpse of some of changes that have been made.

The three-minute film features interviews with Glen Watson from Gateshead-based Meldrum Construction Services, who are carrying out the work, as well as Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund, which has made a grant of £12.4m to support the conservation thanks to National Lottery players.

Meldrum’s work will be complete in July and Auckland Castle will reopen to the public on 1 December 2018 following full fit out.
