𝐒𝐚𝐭 𝟐𝟏 𝐍𝐨𝐯 - 𝐒𝐮𝐧 𝟑 𝐉𝐚𝐧 | 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝟏𝟎𝐚𝐦-𝟒𝐩𝐦 | 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝟏𝟏𝐚𝐦-𝟑𝐩𝐦 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝟐𝟒-𝟐𝟓 𝐃𝐞𝐜 Glittering Christmas trees, handcrafted decorations and plenty of festive sparkle await on the ground floor of the house as The Vyne brings the much-loved Twelve Days of Christmas carol to life. Many of the decorations have been lovingly handcrafted by volunteers, adding extra charm and personality to the festive displays. Indoors, families can enjoy a free game of Christmas Bingo as they spot gifts and characters woven throughout the displays, while outside an interactive trail leads visitors through the gardens. From illuminated paper dresses and uniform-clad drummers to elegant swans and a life-size cow, there's plenty to discover this Christmas. Begin in the Stone Gallery with twelve drummers drumming and eleven pipers piping, before meeting ten waistcoat-wearing frogs in the Further Drawing Room. In the Large Drawing Room, nine spectacular illuminated paper dresses handcrafted by artist Jennifer Collier create a striking festive centrepiece. Look out for a life-size cow, oversized golden eggs, swans, five gold rings, peacocks, patchwork hens and turtle doves as you journey through the house. End your visit in the Bookshop, where a cuddly partridge and crocheted pears provide a festive finale. Free event. Normal admission applies.
