About This Event

This December, experience Tredegar House at its most magical, with over 80 beautifully decorated Christmas trees, thousands of twinkling lights and five centuries of festive traditions brought to life. Begin your festive journey in our enchanting gardens, where our magnificent cedar tree takes centre stage - beautifully illuminated against the winter sky. Wander through the historic orangery and stables, where you can treat yourself to a warming festive hot chocolate and enjoy a cosy moment beneath our stretch tent before stepping inside the mansion to experience 500 years of Christmas. Discover the house transformed for the season, with rooms bursting with festive colour, decorations and for certain visitors, nostalgia. Journey through the decades, from lavish Tudor feasts and elegant Victorian festivities to 1950s school days and 1980s Boxing Day buffets. Join us from 14 - 23 December for special late-night openings when the house and gardens take on an extra festive feel. Whether you're making new family memories or revisiting Christmases gone by, there's something wonderful waiting for everyone who walks through the gold gilted Edney gates. Father Christmas and Scrooge will also make special appearances between 12 - 13 and 19 - 23 December. See our separate event listing for further details. Experience five centuries of festive traditions in one unforgettable Christmas day out.
