"Visitors are being invited to celebrate 50 years of
Monty Python and the Holy
Grail with exclusive screenings at Doune Castle in Scotland from Friday 22 to
Sunday 24 August.
The cult classic comedy, released in 1975, was filmed extensively at the
medieval fortress. Doune Castle doubled as several locations in the film, most
memorably Castle Anthrax, as well as Camelot and Swamp Castle.
“
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is an iconic film which has been loved by
audiences for 50 years,” says Gillian Urquhart, Events Manager at Historic
Environment Scotland. “To celebrate the anniversary of its release, we’re
delighted to host showings of the film in the historic Doune Castle which
served as the backdrop to a number of filming locations.”
The screenings will take place in the castle’s Great Hall from 7.30pm to 9.30pm
across all three nights. The event is family-friendly, with the film rated PG."
