Holiday Photoshoot at the Castle!

Free for all! Bring your camera or your outfit to a fun shoot at Gillette Castle! The inside will be closed due to major renovations but the exterior will be in holiday decoration and there will be music and more as well!

Open to all photographers and all models. Costumes - anything from biblical times through the 1950's, earlier or later too.

Must sign up with Hartford County Amateur Photographers to reserve your spot in the group shoot. Log into Facebook and open the event at this link: https://fb.me/e/26ZECDhVI

Donations to the Friends of Gillette Castle non-profit are welcome but not required.

Before or after the event, you can stroll the decorated grounds and snap photos a-plenty! Take a self-guided hike with our hiking and history map, and stop by the Cider Station for hot cider, cocoa and snacks by the bonfire. The Cider Station also has fun for kids young and old with a scavenger hunt, castle coloring pages and holiday carols by the bonfire. We have daily raffles & souvenir shopping at Seventh Sister Souvenirs. We hope to see you soon!

The Castle is closed due to restoration but the grounds have plenty of holiday fun.
