The Castle stands proudly on an elevated site which makes it highly visible and a nationally renowned destination for events and filming.

Demographic and Promotion Shopper Profile Belvoir Castle is located at the heart of an affluent rural area with a historical prosperity based on fertile agricultural land and trade. Historically in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries the area's quality hunting attracted society's elite and the area retains a deep equestrian tradition with a high regard for sporting and countryside traditions. The prestigious Belvoir Hunt is kennelled on the estate with the Quorn and the Cottesmore nearby and Belvoir is world-renowned for the quality of its game shooting. More recently the attractive countryside, the wealth of sporting activities, the vibrant social scene and quality local housing stock have combined with fast rail links to London from Grantham (1h 10m) and Peterborough (51m) to attract an affluent influx of people with high disposable incomes and a wish to present well. Overall the profile is similar to the Cotswolds but with a slightly younger demographic because property remains relatively affordable. Many families have fathers (and sometimes mothers) who work in the City and stay in London in the week but maintain their family home in or close to the Vale of Belvoir. Many more young families with children at home also live in and around the villages and local market towns with mum and dad undertaking a more local commute to Leicester, Sheffield and Nottingham or perhaps working from home online. There is also a significant affluent elderly population. Young singletons may well live in the surrounding local urban centres but road and transport links are good and they are happy to journey out at weekends to enjoy a day in the glorious countryside. The Belvoir Castle Golden Button Charity Fair is being marketed to serve an aspirant, affluent customer base who are pleased to be associated with a countryside look and lifestyle whether or not they actively participate in its activities. They recognise the pleasures of buying, wearing and owning the finer things in life and associating and shopping with people who share their tastes and values.
