September Letter from the Curator

Golden days and still plenty of warmth with bright blue skies to enjoy.

Our Viking Spectacular Fireworks tickets have just gone on sale as the demand gets greater every year. This year we are going to hold the event on two nights the 5th. and 6th. of November with the same level of brilliance on each night. We are doing this to keep the numbers lower on so people can see more of the Vikings and also to ensure that the food and drink facilities more easily accessible. We have also invested in one of the smart loo systems which are glamorous. Personally, I can't resist a bit of glamorous, even when it comes to mobile loos! I might point out that all this joy does not reflect upon the cost as we are keeping the same price of £6.00 for concessions and £6.50 with children under 5 free. This has been the holding price for some years and reflects our policy at Tutbury Castle of giving people great value for money. Book your tickets online now!

The Vikings are always fantastically popular and so dramatic fighting by moonlight and making the sparks fly. We have not had them with us for a few years trying other ideas instead but actually they are so outstanding and much in demand, they have returned. We hope we can reach the top five again in "best firework's night" national newspaper columns!

Meanwhile, I am trying not to wish our lives away and instead enjoy the last of the warmth and the sense of nostalgia autumn seems to always bring as the leaves begin to fall...

Best wishes to you all
