Castle Howard is delighted to have played host to the Arctic Monkeys and crew whilst they filmed the video for their new single ‘Four Out Of Five’ from the new album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.’

Nick Howard comments ‘After several days of channelling Stanley Kubrick at Castle Howard, the house still echoes to the sound of the Arctic Monkeys' "Four Out Of Five”. It was a real privilege to open up the house for the world-famous Sheffield band to make their compelling new video, a true Yorkshire partnership. From the cellars up to the dome, Castle Howard once more takes up its role as a screen actor, a location like no other, complementing Alex Turner's challenging new direction. Those who know the place well will recognise many of the locations used, while those who have never been here can come and tick off the spaces as they find them. If they're lucky, they might even catch a glimpse of the fifties Bentley which features in the film or Dee the American Akita, our very own canine star.’

Castle Howard is a 300 year old, magnificent historic house which sits in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in North Yorkshire. Castle Howard has been used as a location for many features with its interiors and gardens being cast in a number of roles. From taking centre stage in features such as Brideshead Revisted to making less obvious appearances in dramas such as Death Comes to Pemberley; the versatility of Castle Howard makes it the perfect place to film. The Four Out Of Five video has been likened to Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon which was based on William Thackeray’s novel about a young, roguish Irishman who is determined to make a life for himself as a wealthy nobleman. Today, filming is very important for Castle Howard in helping to promote the House and region and generating income which can be put back into conserving and developing the Estate.
