Dear Future: I Leave This Place For You - Castle Drogo

Find out how a gift in your will can help us protect and preserve the special places in our care.

  • Booking essential

Without gifts in wills, we simply wouldn’t be able to look after the extraordinary places in our care and Castle Drogo is no exception. This special event will take you behind the scenes with the staff team to see first-hand how your support is helping us carry out crucial conservation work every day in the castle, garden and wider landscape. Over a light afternoon tea, you'll be able to ask questions about our work and how a gift in your own will could help to safeguard the future of our special places.
