The castle’s general manager Alan McKerchar said being nominated was an achievement in itself, but to have won the prestigious accolade is fantastic for the team.

He said: “I am immensely proud of our incredible team and their unwavering dedication each and every day to create a memorable experience for all of our visitors to Raby Castle. Our heartfelt thanks go to our people here at Raby – you all work tremendously hard and your enthusiasm and commitment doesn’t go unnoticed.”

Mr McKerchar said 2024 would be a significant year for the attraction with the opening of the Rising project in the spring, which he described as a visionary collection of heritage buildings brought to life with new construction, offering retail, hospitality and event spaces to make Raby Castle and iconic destination.
