Immerse your family in a bright and joyful Christmas at Knightshayes, where bold colours, twinkling lights and festive decorations fill every corner. Inside the house, the Gothic Revival interiors come to life with rich colours and playful details. Each room has its own vibrant Christmas theme, creating a magical journey as you explore. Out in the gardens, join the festive trail and help Knightshayes keep the lights glowing. Along the way you'll discover fun games and challenges perfect for children and grown ups to enjoy together. This year, pupils from Knightshayes' local school have teamed up with an artist to create colourful decorations that complement the theme and add an extra spark of joy to your visit. As dusk falls, the house and gardens shine even brighter. Illuminations light up the shortest days, making an evening visit feel truly special. To enjoy them at their best, Knightshayes will be open late until 7pm on 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 December. 28 November – 3 January
