ickets are now available for the Vintage
Party to be held at Highclere Castle on
Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September.
Lord and Lady Carnarvon will host a
Roaring Twenties Garden Party with all the
glamour, sophistication and glitz of the era.
Guests will be able to immerse themselves in
all that the real Downton Abbey has to offer,
including tours of the castle, a traditional merry-
go-round, a game or two of croquet on the lawn,
as well as a delicious picnic lunch.
Out&About
has teamed up with the castle to offer
one reader the chance to win a pair of tickets to
the garden party, for either Saturday or Sunday.
Prizes will be awarded by Lord and Lady
Carnarvon for the best-dressed attendees in
a variety of categories including Best Upstairs,
Best Downstairs and Best Hat.
Castle highlights include Morris dancers and
a brass band.
The castle, with its magnificent state rooms,
will be open for visitors to explore, as will the
Egyptian exhibition in the cellars of the castle.
This tells the story of, and contains antiquities
from, the tombs that were discovered in Egypt
by the 5th Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter,
nearly 100 years ago.
The gardens, arboretum and flower meadow
will also be open for guests to explore.
A light lunch, freshly prepared from the castle
kitchens, and a refreshing glass of Pimm’s is
included in the ticket price and can be enjoyed
in one of the marquees.
The Castle Tea Rooms will be open throughout
the weekend for the purchase of tea, coffee,
light snacks, scones and cakes.
Tickets are £120 per person via the website.
