The Main Event

Belvoir Castle has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland for over 1,000 years, and it’s packed with stories waiting to be discovered. The current castle, built in the 19th century, is an impressive example of Regency architecture, filled with grand state rooms, fine art, and elegant interiors that reflect centuries of British history. Wandering through the castle feels like stepping into another world, where every room has a story and every detail has been carefully preserved.

Once you’ve explored inside, you must explore the grounds too! Set high above the Vale of Belvoir, the castle offers sweeping countryside views that are worth the visit alone. The gardens are a real highlight and combine formal planting with peaceful woodland walks and colourful seasonal displays. Whether you’re visiting in spring bloom, summer sunshine or autumn colour, the gardens offer plenty to enjoy.

To make it extra special, this day out experience includes a traditional afternoon tea served in the elegant Aviary Tearoom, with lovely views across the castle grounds. Many of the ingredients are sourced directly from the Belvoir estate, including eggs from their own hens, herbs from the kitchen garden, and seasonal fruits that inspire the preserves and pastries. Each element of the afternoon tea is carefully prepared by skilled pastry chefs, blending classic techniques with a modern touch to create something that feels both traditional and fresh.

Voucher options are available for adults, as well as family options that include children, making it ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, family treats or a relaxed day out together.
