The Alnwick Castle’s Pandemic Trouble
When Coronavirus hit, like other public places the castle was also shut down to visitors. But after it reopened in early August, visitors again had the permission to visit the place and get some Harry Potter feels. This was, of course, done in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines.

However, some people took the reopening of the place as a sign for creating mischief. According to the staff at Alnwick castle, a few visitors got into heated arguments with them after they were told to follow the pandemic guidelines and were restricted from visiting some areas of the castle. This, of course, wasn’t taken too well by the castle management.

As a result, the management issued a statement pointing out that there are new guidelines that need to be strictly adhered to for the safety of everybody. The statement also noted that visitors may be frustrated due to these guidelines, but that doesn’t warrant even a shred of abuse towards any of their staff or other visitors. Further, it was stated that if anybody was found engaging in any toward act or disobeying the rules, they would be escorted out of the premises by security guards. Even the Duke of Northumberland and his wife have hired bouncers to curtail unacceptable visitor behavior.
