The Doctor Will See You Now at Bamburgh Castle

Visitors step into Keep Hall as the Gruesome Doctor opens his surgery for a journey into the history of medicine. Guests encounter polished tools, strange remedies, and stomach-churning tales of how doctors treated patients in centuries past. Brave attendees may even find themselves called upon to lend a hand as the doctor's assistant or subject.
