Château DIY (formerly known as Escape to the Château DIY until 2020) is a Channel 4 formatted documentary television series which follows the stories of various families who are renovating châteaux in France, or looking at ones to purchase. The original series Escape to the Château DIY was narrated by Dick Strawbridge who, along with his wife Angel Adoree, provided help and advice to some of these owners until 2020. The programme was spawned from the associated series Escape to the Chateau.

In 2021, the programme was rebranded as Château DIY with new narrator Adjoa Andoh.[1] Chateau DIY has run for 4 series, with further series planned. The brand has been extended with Christmas specials that aired starting in 2021. A further spin-off series titled Chateau DIY: Living the Dream, focusing on one chateau per episode, was commissioned in 2023 for More4.[2]
