Off to support the @thecastleplayer in their final performance of “A Comedy of Errors!” Can’t wait to catch-up with a few cast members of Dream ‘16 😃 #Shakespeare #BarnardCastle

There's a lot more to The Castle Players than the actors you see on stage. A dedicated team of volunteers are busying away behind the scenes. Takes a whole week to put together the staging, set and lighting together to create our theatre at The Bowes Museum

Twin Tipple, our own real ale specially brewed for The Comedy of Errors, has just been delivered to The Old Well Inn by Pete from Mithril Ales. Pop in for a pint next week before you go to see the show at The Bowes Museum.
