Rogues and Vagabonds, Newcastle Castle

Rogues & Vagabonds

Spring Season: February – June

This spring, Castle Garth becomes the home of rogues, rule-breakers and colourful characters from our past — the thieves, tricksters and vagabonds who once lived and worked in the shadow of the castle walls.

Rogues & Vagabonds dives into the darker, more eccentric side of Newcastle’s history, revealing gripping tales of crime, punishment and survival. The Great Hall is transformed into a courtroom, the medieval Gaol explores justice and incarceration, and visitors are invited to step into the story themselves.

Answer the call to become a Newcastle Castle Rogue by creating your own outlaw alias and taking on a series of roguish challenges throughout the castle. Along the way, uncover extraordinary stories, meet notorious characters, and experience the castle as it has never been seen before — bold, mischievous and full of intrigue.
