Lumley Castle Hotel
County Durham
Lumley Castle dominates the County Durham landscape. Surrounded by beautiful parklands, overlooking the River Wear, Lumley Castle is a superb monument to a proud history which stretches back to 1392. The castle is now a 4-star hotel, which hosts events from historic reenactments to medieval banquets.

There are 71 bedrooms at the castle, including doubles, twins, and singles. Our room block is in the castle courtyard, which joins onto the castle itself.
Breakfast is included for everyone who books their room through Wild North.
Bar
Wild North attendees will have their own private bar for the duration of the con.
Accessibility
We welcome all members of the fandom, regardless of their level of ability. We will do our best to accommodate all attendees.
Our venue is a four-star hotel, which hosts multiple events throughout the year. Accessible facilities include:
-
Ground floor bedrooms in the accommodation block
-
Walk-in showers in two bedrooms.
-
A lift in the main castle between the ground floor and the first floor. All event spaces are on the first floor, and these can be accessed via the lift.
However, the venue is an historical building, and it is not possible to guarantee modern standards of accessibility. There are uneven surfaces inside and outside the venue.
That said, we will do our best to accommodate all attendees. If you have any queries or questions about accessibility, please email us.
