Venue Updates After Storm Eowyn
Most areas of Dean Castle Country Park have reopened. With the exception of the river path at the car park, all paths are now safe and can be used. Some debris in the form of branches and sticks remain so please take extra care across the park.
The Dick Institute gallery will remain closed until further notice due to storm damage. The museum, library and cafe are open as normal.
