The growing popularity of the television series The Traitors has sparked a boom in castle-themed events across the UK, according to the Guardian.
Fans are spending significant sums, in some cases around £30,000, on stag and hen parties, castle conspiracy weekends and other events designed to recreate the show's atmosphere.
Contestants on the actual program do not stay at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, where filming takes place, and the venue cannot be booked by the public without hiring the entire estate.
That has not stopped event companies from offering year-round imitation experiences, providing a financial boost to the owners of some of Britain's aging castles.
