The Real Downton Abbey: Adding Value to the Brand Image at Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle is well known as a visitor attraction and the location for the Downton Abbey TV series and now a movie out in September. To widen income streams for the future Lord & Lady Carnarvon have created books on family and history of the place, new products to sell worldwide such as the Highclere Castle Cigar and new Gin and a wall garden vineyard, and on the farm a new small bale Sanfoin mix for horses and Lord Carnarvon will explain the background to these projects.
