Company of Artisans – Alnwick Castle

Head to the Artisans Courtyard at Alnwick Castle to discover the role of artisans in the Medieval and Tudor period.
You’ll have the chance to make a medieval tile, learn about the properties of medieval soap and explore the importance of spinning.
You can also meet Alchemy Jack, who will perform some astonishing experiments with mysterious medicines, peculiar concoctions and bizarre apparatus. Watch as he tries to turn dragon’s blood into chunks of gold, or attempts to create the Philosopher’s stone!
