A Pictorial Tour of Highclere Castle
Presented by Beth BellemereDownton Abbey followers: Mark this date on your calendar! Beth Bellemere, former Library Trustee and Friends Board member, traveled to England this past summer. The highlight of her visit included the opportunity to tour and photograph Highclere Castle, the familiar “house” where Downton Abbey is filmed. Her tour included a bit of insider info on how certain locations in and around the castle are captured in the series—details she’ll gladly share!
The program will follow the final episode of the series—a perfect opportunity to gather with fellow fans to talk about all things “Downton.” And of course, we’ll offer afternoon tea as well! Join us for this “virtual tour” of the Carnarvon family’s spectacular home.
