About This Event

Created by Sunnycroft's team, this special behind-the-scenes tour takes you beyond the visitor experience and reveals how the house is transformed into Kenneth Grahame's much-loved world. Wander through the cosy homes of Mole, Ratty and Badger, explore the grandeur of Toad Hall, and take a closer look at the details that bring these classic characters to life. Without the bustle of meeting Father Christmas, you'll have time to soak up the atmosphere, spot hidden touches throughout the rooms, and hear from the team about the creativity, planning, and dedication that goes into creating a magical Christmas at Sunnycroft. It's a rare opportunity to experience the festive displays at a slower pace and uncover the stories behind the scenes. Join us for a 30-minute timed entry session between 10am and 3pm from 9 to 11 December and 16 to 18 December. Pre-book your timed-entry ticket online. Sunnycroft is open to pre-booked ticket holders only during this period. Group sizes are limited to 20 people due to the size of the house, and booking is essential. This experience is recommended for ages 14+. Tickets cost £10 per person and include a festive drink and a sweet treat.
