Belvoir has been the ancestral home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland for one thousand years and is currently the family home of 11th Duke and Duchess and their five children. The castle and gardens make an idyllic setting for a wedding, or private party whilst the estate offers beautiful surroundings for field sports, product launches and an incredible array of public annual events.

Step into the Guard Room…

The grand entranceway to Belvoir Castle, the Guard Room sets the tone from the very first step inside - a striking display of Gothic Revival architecture housing an incredible collection of arms and armour, a nod to the Castle’s history as a fortress long before it became a family home.

The Castle is open every day except for Tuesdays & Wednesdays. The Gardens, Adventure Playground & Retail Village are open every day.

A wonderful day spent at for the WineGB Midlands & North Members Day. Their walled garden vineyard is a truly beautiful setting, it was a pleasure to see it firsthand.

We’re delighted to share that Belvoir Estate wine received 4 awards on the day - recognition we are especially proud of and we’ll share more details on that soon.

It was a pleasure to be there amongst our friends at the 🥂

Thank you to WineGB Midlands & North for hosting , and to everyone who’s supported Belvoir Wine.

Our favourite time of year at Belvoir - the leaves are just beginning to turn, the estate is settling into autumn gold, and there’s a crispness in the air that we’ve been waiting for all summer.

Did you know the tradition of afternoon tea may have begun at Belvoir Castle? ☕🍰

In 1843, the Duchess of Bedford requested a tray of cakes and biscuits at around 4 o’clock – unknowingly creating one of Britain’s most beloved traditions.

This summer, step into the Regent’s Gallery where the very first afternoon tea may have been enjoyed, explore the beautiful estate, and let little adventurers tackle the Bertie Bear and Summer Safari trails.

We’re open 7 days a week throughout the summer holidays, come and make your own Belvoir memories.

This beautifully hand-drawn floor plan of Belvoir Castle, sketched by the 5th Duchess, Elizabeth, is the latest remarkable find in the archives.

The drawing depicts the previous castle before it was burnt down in the fire of 1816, offering a fascinating glimpse into the layout of the castle before it was destroyed.

Following the fire, Elizabeth led the ambitious rebuilding of Belvoir Castle, creating the magnificent Regency masterpiece we know and admire today.
