Bamburgh Castle boasts magnificent decoration at Christmas. Wander through the castle’s festive-themed rooms and take in dazzling displays of kaleidoscopic colours, foliage, and twinkling lights. The theme of 2024 is inspired by Northumberland’s myths and legends, journey through the Castle’s staterooms steeped in stories and folklore and discover a world sprinkled full of fairy magic.
