Bamburgh Castle events just got more exciting with Tails & Tales, a playful indoor exhibition that transforms a visit to Bamburgh Castle into a storytelling adventure. Designed for families, this interactive trail brings idioms and imaginative scenes to life throughout the castle.
Running until 1st November 2026, the experience transforms a visit to Bamburgh Castle into an imaginative journey filled with humour, storytelling and surprises around every corner.
A trail of curious creatures
As you wander through the castle, you’ll encounter a whole menagerie of installations inspired by familiar sayings and idioms. From theatrical scenes featuring balancing acts and playful puppetry to striking animal characters such as proud peacocks and daring tigers, each room reveals a new visual story.
But the real challenge? Can you guess the phrase behind each scene.
Every installation hints at a well-known saying, encouraging visitors to pause, observe and piece together the clues. It’s part puzzle, part storytelling adventure – and plenty of fun for families exploring the castle together.
Designed to spark curiosity
The Tails & Tales campaign was designed to capture the playful spirit of the installation and bring the idea of idioms and storytelling to life.
To support the launch, a full suite of campaign materials was created, including:
The Tails & Tales campaign mark, developed through a naming exercise
Social media assets to spark curiosity and encourage visits
Web banners promoting the installation online
Mailchimp templates to share updates with the castle’s growing audience
A beautifully designed visitor leaflet, given to every guest on entry
The leaflet does more than introduce the exhibition. It also includes a children’s activity trail, helping younger visitors follow the characters through the castle while searching for clues and uncovering the idioms hidden within the displays.
Bamburgh Castle Events: A new way to explore the castle
While Bamburgh Castle is famous for its dramatic coastal setting and rich history, this Bamburgh Castle event offers a fresh way to experience its interiors.
The trail encourages visitors to slow down, look closely and engage with the spaces in a new way – spotting details, interpreting scenes and discussing guesses with friends and family.
It’s a reminder that storytelling has always been part of the castle’s magic.
Can you guess them all?
With characters hidden throughout the castle, every visit becomes a game of discovery.
Some idioms may be obvious. Others might leave you scratching your head. But that’s all part of the fun.
So next time you visit Bamburgh Castle, keep your eyes open… You never know what curious creature might be waiting around the corner.
As one of the most unique Bamburgh Castle events, Tails & Tales is included with general admission and runs until 1 November 2026.
Come along, explore the trail, and see how many idioms you can guess.
