Powderham Castle

We couldn’t keep away from Wessex last week - one of our team enjoyed a trip to the lovely @powderhamcastle over the weekend (with a furry friend in tow 🐶) #LoveHeritage🏰

@powderhamcastle is one of the UK’s most unique, historic homes. As part of our South West special issue (out now!) @JeremyPFlint met the modern Earl of Devon, for a behind-the-scenes tour of this historic castle Read more here: bit.ly/40mHQuN Photos: Jeremy Flint

So, here's to the ladies of Powderham, and almost 900 years of making this place incredible! Happy #InternationalWomensDay! ♀🏰 3/3

Present-day Powderham is no different. In fact, we're practically 'women-led', with every department headed by women and well-over half of our staff identifying as female. #InternationWomensDay 2/3

Women have always been deep rooted in the history of Powderham Castle, stemming first from Empress Matilda (Empress of the Holy Roman Empire), who created the Earl of Devon title in early 1141. #InternationalWomensDay 1/3

Due to this, we’d like to offer all visitors tonight a free return (whether you come this evening, or decide to wait) so you have the opportunity to see the whole event.

Following the strong winds today, the Christmas at the Castle light walk has been fully risk assessed and we can confirm that the site is safe to re-open this evening.
