Monthly, included with every membership
A private live evening broadcast from the Castle each month, a celebrated author, drinks and nibbles, laughter and warmth. Every Friend invited, no extra charge.
What to expect
Each month, Lady Carnarvon welcomes a celebrated author to the Castle for an evening that is warm, personal and unrepeatable. Drinks are poured, nibbles are served, and the conversation wanders wherever it will, from the author’s latest book to their life, their craft, and their unexpected connections to Highclere.
The evening is broadcast live so Friends around the world can join together in real time. And if you can’t make the live broadcast, the full recording is added to the archive within a few days.
