Summer comes alive at Grimsthorpe Castle with a packed programme of family events
Enjoy an unforgettable summer at Grimsthorpe Castle, with an exciting programme of events, including outdoor theatre, live music, historic experiences and spectacular motoring showcases set against the backdrop of one of Lincolnshire’s most impressive historic estates.
Located just 10 minutes from Bourne, Grimsthorpe Castle sits amongst 3000 acres of rolling countryside. Open from Sunday to Thursday until the 30th September, visitors can explore 500 years of family history, relax in the beautiful formal gardens, take a stroll around the lake or let their little ones burn off energy in the woodland Adventure Playground.
Alongside its permanent attractions, Grimsthorpe has an unmissable events calendar this summer, offering something for visitors of every age and interest.
Outdoor theatre returns to the Castle with two spectacular productions. On Thursday 30th July, the acclaimed Lord Chamberlain's Men bring Shakespeare's gripping tragedy Othello to life in the open air.
Families can also set sail on a swashbuckling adventure with Quantum Theatre's lively adaptation of Treasure Island on Saturday 29th August. Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic and a chair, then relax and enjoy an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
Motoring enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice this summer at Grimsthorpe. Celebrate the everyday cars, from quirky hatchbacks to forgotten family favourites with the Festival of the Unexceptional on July 25.

The summer programme also introduces a brand-new 1940s festival on Saturday 8th August, as Grimsthorpe Castle is transformed into a vibrant celebration of the wartime era.
