If tea and crumpets in grand old houses are your thing, you’re going to love this idea!

In honor of Downton Abbey finally making the hop from the small to the big screen, AirBnB is giving its die-hard fans the opportunity to live like the Crawleys for a day.

For one night only, Highclere Castle, which doubles as the famous home in the British series, will be open to two lucky fans of Downton Abbey who can prove they are the most passionate.

If they are selected, they will be afforded the chance to spend an evening with the house’s occupants, Lord and Lady Carnavron, where they will be “treated like royalty.”

This includes cocktails in the saloon, followed by a traditional dinner in the state dining room, waited on by the castle’s butler. Coffee will then be served in the library before the guests retire for the night in one of the grand bedrooms.

The following day will see the fortunate pair indulge in breakfast before partaking on a tour of the grounds.

The competition opens at noon on October 1st, with the winners — who must have good reviews from previous AirBnB stays — will be chosen by the Lord and Lady.

Downton is in our midsts!

We have been coiffuring our hair in anticipation for the Downton Abbey feature film and now we have our first amuse bouche of what to expect.

The movie will reunite us with the Crawley family and their staff who accompanied us for 6 years on television.

Now on a grander scale, the newly-released teaser trailer shows the staff readying the house as we are informed that we are cordially invited to attend the motion picture event next year.

Production on the Downton film began in September, with Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, Joanne Froggatt, Jim Carter, and Maggie Smith all returning.

They will also be joined by Harry Potter actress Imelda Staunton and Tuppence Middleton of Sense8.

Hoorah!

Some of Britain’s finest acting stock is making its way to Downton.

With the film production of Downton Abbey set to start shooting very soon (and us still giddy with excitement!), we are thrilled to hear that Imelda Staunton has joined the cast.

It is not yet known whether the Harry Potter actress will be amongst the grand lords and ladies of the house which include Dowager Countess Maggie Smith, Lady Mary played by Michelle Dockery or the Earl of Grantham that is Hugh Bonneville; or below with the staff of Jim Carter who portrays Carlson (and is her real-life husband!), Phyllis Logan’s Mrs. Hughes, and lady’s maid Anna who is brought to Joanne Froggatt.

What we do know, however, is that Imelda will be joined by Geraldine James from Sherlock Holmes, Sense8 actress Tuppence Middleton, Killing Eve actor David Haig, Peaky Blinders star Kate Phillips, and Stephen Campbell Moore of The Last Poet.

Sounds like a rather grand dinner party!

Top up the Pimms, because we’re heading back to Downton!

Almost 3 years after the series ended, Downton Abbey will be returning — in feature film form!

The period piece followed the lives of the upper-class Crawley family, as well as that of their house staff.

The promise of a movie had long been in the air, but producers have now confirmed that production will begin in September.

Even better news is that the principal cast is all on board, meaning that Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery, Joanne Froggatt, Hugh Bonneville, and many others will once again be putting on their period pieces.

Both Michelle Dockery and Joanne Froggatt celebrated the announcement:

The film is set to be directed by Brian Percival who directed the original pilot, while series creator, Julian Fellowes, has written the screenplay.

Carnival Films executive chairman, Gareth Neame, has said, “When the television series drew to a close it was our dream to bring the millions of global fans a movie and now, after getting many stars aligned, we are shortly to go into production. Julian’s script charms, thrills and entertains and in Brian Percival’s hands we aim to deliver everything that one would hope for as ‘Downton’ comes to the big screen”.

To paraphrase the Dowager Countess, we cannot find the words to say how excited we feel.
