That was fun. They really did a great job setting up the displays and decor for the event. Beautiful castle too. Awesome tour. I'd be passing up on the gift shop for sure but Kristy would have to get her Souvenir! LOL. Looked like a great day with your wife. Well done. Have a great day.

Hello Alan, Wow the decorations in Castle Howard were amazing. Loved all the clocks on the wall. The Christmas tree in the hall was stunning. So much to see and such vibrant colours too. Nice they have a food hall and gift shop too. Its such a impressive building, thank you for sharing x Julie and Tony x

Castle Howard is lovely! A very nice theme for the holiday display - I think everyone loves Alice! They did an amazing job with each room and the hallways too! I loved seeing the tall Christmas Tree, and wow, I haven’t seen such a huge fireplace in a very long time. Perfect outing for the holiday season! 👌🌲🎄🌲🎄❤

Morning Alan and Mrs Metalman We feel very Christmasy after watching this with our Morning cuppa this morning We've never visited Castle Howard, it's now on our must visit list. The rooms look amazing all done up for Christmas 🎄 and what a fabulous theme 😊 right up my street (Jo) great for families as well. Those Christmas trees are huge and look amazing Perfect choice of music Boo would have loved one of those soft toys that were for sale. Lots of people there and big queues but great to see so many people enjoying it. WOW! A Betty's in the grounds (didn't know that) A fabulous video Alan, even the land train looked festive. Hope you're having a good week ❤

The Alice in wonderland Christmas display looked absolutely magical! Looks like a wonderful day out was had by you and Mrs metalman. A bit on the pricey side, especially the gift shop 😮😂🐇. But then why not, it is nearly Christmas after all! Thanks for putting this on our radar, we would love to visit if we are ever in that area. Have a great week, Shell and Pete 😊 🎄🎅👍

👍10, we have always wanted to go to one of these events at Castle Howard. Grew up watching Brideshead Revisited so very fond memories of the building. Wow those rooms look incredible, they must take all year to prep them for these events. Wow the trees are huge, how on earth do they get them inside? Gosh this is so magical for families! It’s nice that you can see some of the original paintings still hung too. There are some great walks around Castle Howard, a couple of our favourites take in the grounds. There is a Bettys on the grounds? Did not know that. My mum caught the land train when she visited last year, looked like fun.
@AlanMETALMANАй бұрын
Our first ever visit but I really want to go back, the house itself was amazing but a lot hidden by the Alice event, which be both enjoyed by the way. Yes I was surprised when I saw Bettys in the old Stables, unsure if it is a permanent fixture or just there for the Alice event to be honest. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

That’s the thing with this kind of event, you can’t quite get a look at the “bones” of the venue behind the decor and hordes of folks, so you do have to go back!

It was such fun being grabbed by giant eyeball characters in the haunted woods and stuff but we had to go back another time to see the castle and gardens properly 😂😂

So good that you both got to attend this event seeing as though you hadn't attended one of these events before. The castle looked beautiful, no wonder so much has been filmed here. Loved all of the beautifully lit up rooms, they did a really good job with the decor, it looked really Christmassy with so many trees and a chance to dress up 😃 The shop with all of the merchandise was great too, the kids would definitely love it and I agree that Castle Howard is a must see for anyone in the area and its good that there is a land train for anyone who can't or don't want to walk. Shame about the fire but it looks like they're doing great work in the restoration. That was fabulous, you showed it off really well 👍~ Anna

Hey Alan, I'm just debating about whether to go or not - as there are four of us, it's over £30 each and we have been to Castle Howard plenty of times but the Alice display looked interesting and we do like to go to Castle Howard at Christmas. Still... It would be an expensive couple of hours!!
