The historic Earnscleugh Castle will feature on Grand Designs New Zealand tomorrow night. PHOTOS: CRAIG BAXTERA once crumbling Central Otago castle revived as a labour of love will hit the national spotlight this weekend. Earnscleugh Castle co-owner Ryan Sanders said he and partner Marco Creemers were hosting a black-tie dinner with "lots of Champagne" to herald tomorrow’s launch of Grand Designs New Zealand when the Central Otago "cast" would take centre stage. The $22,000 from ticket sales was to be shared by the Clyde Volunteer Fire Brigade and Animal Rehab Central, he said. Tomorrow the Grand Designs screening would be celebrated in style, Mr Sanders said.
