Dick and Angel Strawbridge have shared some stunning photos from their chateau for Halloween weekend. Last month, the couple announced Escape to the Chateau will be returning to screens. The show follows the story of Dick and Angel, who left their humble home in the UK to relocate to an abandoned French chateau.

The show first aired on Channel 4 in 2016 after the couple purchased the French castle in 2015. Since then it has gone from being uninhabitable after not being lived in for 40 years, to a 45-room property which is now a spectacular home.

Dick and Angel and their two children, Arthur and Dorothy, have now lived at the property for over a decade and are still putting their stamp on the place. They often share snaps of their stunning gardens on their social media pages and insights into areas of the home that were rarely shown on TV.

In a recent post, Dick and Angel posted several photos of their amazing Halloween party inside their stunning home. They captioned the post: “The Strawbridge family knows how to do the holidays right! So creative and festive! Halloween à la Chateau was a huge success!

“With Arthur and Dorothy both in senior school (or college, as it’s called here in France), there were lots of new faces this year — but our Chateau’s Halloween traditions remain firmly in place!

“From the Spooky Hunt (with our wonderful Chateau Helpers lurking in the shadows to add to the fright!) to the classic toilet paper mummy competition and apple bobbing, it was a night full of laughter and shrieks in equal measure.”Today will be mostly spent de-cobwebbing… and Dorothy has already started humming Christmas tunes… it seems the seasons are changing once again at the Château! Have a Super Sunday! XXX.”

Taking to the comments, one fan said: “How lovely – can’t believe how tall Dorothy has got.” A second added: “Everyone had great costumes, but Angel’s is perfection!!! Looks like the perfect Halloween party.”

A third also added: “Am so looking forward to the series 10.” A fourth added: “Absolutely love these pictures!! xx.”

Escape to the Chateau was halted in 2022 with the conclusion of series nine. Fans of the show will be delighted to hear the Strawbridge family has announced the show will be making a comeback for a tenth series.

The Strawbridge family announced the return on Facebook last month. They said: “We are delighted to announce that we are officially back in production for Escape to the Chateau, Series 10!

“It’s been wonderful welcoming back our Escape filming family — the unsung heroes behind the cameras. Since we first fell in love with the Chateau in 2014, it has taken us on the journey of a lifetime.

“In 2022, we made the important decision to take a break from filming and concluded Series 9 with the most incredible and magical celebration we could have ever imagined.

“Now, as a family, we’ve stepped into a new era. With Arthur and Dorothy happily settled into college, Series 10 brings more change and growth than the Chateau has ever seen!

“We promised that when the time was right for our family, we’d invite the cameras back in to give you an update — and maybe even a Christmas Special… and that time is now! Thank you for being part of our story — we can’t wait to share this next magical chapter with you.”
