An evening of English glamour at one of Britain’s most storied estates.

Join Minerva for a rare opportunity to spend a summer evening at Highclere Castle, the historic home best known as the setting for Downton Abbey.

The evening begins with a welcome drink and the opportunity to explore Highclere’s magnificent State Rooms at leisure. Wander through the grand interiors and discover the Castle’s renowned Egyptian Exhibition, a fascinating collection inspired by the discoveries of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon.

As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere shifts outdoors to the Summer Garden Marquee where live jazz sets the tone for a relaxed and glamorous reception. Champagne, cocktails and seasonal summer delicacies will be served as the music plays and the gardens soften into evening light.

This is a chance to experience Highclere in a way few visitors do, not as daytime guests, but as evening attendees at one of the Castle’s celebratory summer gatherings.

A refined cultural outing for those who appreciate history, atmosphere and the romance of a summer evening in the English countryside.
