A CASTLE STEEPED IN TREACHERY

These walls have seen betrayal before.

Middleton Castle was built in 1455 by Thomas Scales, a man who held the Tower of London for King Henry VI, and was captured and killed for it. His son-in-law Anthony Woodville completed the castle, only to be beheaded on the orders of Richard III thirty years later.

In less than three decades, the castle passed through four of England's most powerful families, each affected at times by conspiracy, allegiance, and betrayal.

1460

Thomas Scales is captured and killed by Yorkist wherrymen whilst fleeing the Tower of London. The castle passes to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Anthony Woodville.

THE SETTING

An immersive and unforgettable experience.

Middleton Castle's grand halls, secret staircases, and candlelit chambers make the perfect backdrop for deception, strategy, and suspense.

THE SPACES

Rooms built for secrets

Three reception rooms, a billiards room, a great hall, and a labyrinth of corridors, each one a potential scene for a late-night conversation that changes everything.

THE GROUNDS

A moat at midnight

Six acres of grounds, a medieval moat, and a large outdoor fire pit. Middleton Castle at night is something altogether unique, and the perfect stage for the final reckoning.

THE STAY

Nowhere to run

With fifteen bedrooms and exclusive use of the castle, your group stays together from the moment they arrive to the moment the game ends. No escape, no distractions.
