Tom Fool – Alnwick Castle
![A man dressed in a brown patchwork jesters outfits stands on the lawn outside Alnwick Castle. He waves a red flag in one hand and gestures widely with his other. He opens his mouth in merriment.](https://www.highlifenorth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Tom-Fool-1024x1024.jpg)
Enjoy moments of merriment and silliness as you watch Tom Fool, resident jester of Alnwick Castle, do his thing.
Shows include ‘Schools for Fools’ – an interactive show that contemplates the history of the fool; ‘A Fittingly Fiery Folly’ – Tom attempts to fight fire with fire; and ‘A Napple on the Numbskull’ – Tom contemplates gravity with an apple.
These fun and jolly performances are brilliant for all ages and will give you an insight into the role of a jester in medieval times.
