Creating Castle Magic: Sue’s Journey at Alnwick Castle

Sue had long wondered what it would be like working at Alnwick Castle, and now she knows!  As a historical interpreter, specialising in medieval medicine, every day is different and every day is fun.

Not content with only working on the set tours and demonstrations that already existed at Alnwick, Sue set about writing and creating her own, using her flair for story-telling and interest in history to develop new offerings for visitors.

Sue’s takeaways?

• There’s so much to learn, and love, on a daily basis working at a castle!
• Professional development opportunities are everywhere at Alnwick: every year has brought new learnings, promotions and role development.
• Heritage is far from stuffy: Sue’s colleagues are fun, and always open to ideas and new ways of doing things.
