Highclere Castle, Highclere Park, England, United Kingdom

Highclere Castle is the seat of the Earls of Carnarvon.
In 749, the estate was granted to the Bishops of Winchester and a medieval palace was built by Bishop William of Wykeham.
In 1679, it was rebuilt by Sir Robert Sawyer, the ancestor of the Earl of Carnarvon.
In 1842, it was turned into the present castle by Sir Charles Barry, the architect who designed the Houses of Parliament in London.
It is a Grade I listed building and was chosen as the filming location for the famous Downton Abbey.

🔎 Did voy know that ... ?
In 1922, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon and archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. In the castle there is also an Egyptian Exhibition.

Highclere Castle “A Weekend to Remember” 🧡

What can we say. It’s almost difficult to put into words how wonderful, emotional and energetic this incredible event has been at Highclere.

Lord and Lady Carnarvon and every team member at Highclere have pushed far beyond what you could imagine to organise this all consuming event, at one of the world’s most iconic private home locations.

A Weekend to Remember is two days dedicated to the memory of those that have served and continue to serve for the protection of nations and to bring peace and unity. A 1940s celebration of community spirit, fun and remembrance for ALL nations and those that were lost in the grounds of Highclere.

The message delivered by Lord and Lady Carnarvon and their esteemed guests, including the daughter of Dame Vera Lynn, was touching and moving. The flight of the World War Two aircraft as the piper played was spine tingling and incredibly emotional. The applause of the crowd in the beautiful grounds was electric.

For the thousands of visitors, from all around the world, there was a lovely sense of togetherness, lighthearted chatter and many many smiles.  There is so much to see and do and many treats to be had. 

We cannot end this post without mentioning the incredible display in honour of Dame Maggie Smith, The Dowager Countess. The flowers in this art were exquisite and it was a privilege to experience it. 

Finally, our heartfelt thanks goes to Lord and Lady Carnarvon. To John, to Luis, to Paul, to Jason, to Tom, to Anne, to Caitlin and to all of the team for making us so very welcome and for creating something so special. When you leave Highclere you will miss it, but you’ll will miss the people more 🧡
