🌞 Summer Fete Sat 27th June 2026 - 10am-2pm–
Castle & Chapel Tours! 🏰⛪
As part of this year’s Summer Fete, we’re delighted to be offering guided tours of the castle and chapel – a fantastic way to explore the history right on our doorstep.
These tours are supported by the Jacobite Society, a friendly group dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich heritage of Dilston and its Jacobite past.
We’re especially pleased that John Nicholls, who is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, will be leading the tours. John is not only full of fascinating historical insight but is also known for his brilliant storytelling – including some wonderfully spooky ghost stories connected to Dilston!
🕙 Morning tour
🕑 Afternoon tour
Each tour will include both the chapel and the castle, giving you a unique glimpse into local history.
The cost will be just £5 per person (payable on the day), with all proceeds going to the Society to help cover essential costs. Please see link below to book your ticket for the fete.
