Item Description

This Item is Online and Live

Donated by our featured speaker, Sir Charles Gladstone, 8th Bt., the great-great grandson of four-time British Prime Minister, William Gladstone.

Located in Wales, The West End is a large, two-storey residence that forms part of Hawarden Castle. Once home to four-time British Prime Minister William Gladstone, this part of the castle is now a perfectly distilled blend of modern, vintage and period comfort.This spectacular, large and unique apartment sits at the heart of Hawarden Castle. Huge rooms, great views, a private sauna and wood-fired hot tub and its own woodland garden.

The donation will include:

  • A stay in the newly renovated West End (Wing) of Hawarden Castle, for up to ten people (five bedrooms), for three nights on a mutually agreed date in 2025. 
  • One dinner cooked by one of their chefs will be provided. (Other meals can be catered at the guests’ expense. There is a pub, farm shop, restaurant and more within easy walking distance.)
  • A tour of The Temple of Peace, William Gladstone PM’s private study within Hawarden Castle. This is not open to the public.
  • A tour of Hawarden Old Castle, which is in the garden and dates from the Iron Age. This is not open to the public.
