"The Bowes" is Barnard Castle's own Victorian purpose-built Museum which is stashed full of art work and antiquities. It is set in superb gardens, themselves a joy to either walk or run in. Within these gardens lies the tennis club, and The Bowls Club. There is the Community Choir, The Choral Society and the Teesdale Operatic Society in which to practice singing, and if you would like to try your hand at treading the boards, look no further than The Castle Players, the amateur dramatics group who produce a number of plays throughout the year. In the town hall, known as The Witham, there is ample theatre space for all manner of productions, alongside a range of gift and art shops.
Meanwhile, Barnard Castle's historic town centre, and riverside paths are set close to an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
