The kitchen is all abustle with the preparation of festive food, the log fire in the Great Hall is burning to keep the chill at bay and the children are dreaming of the snowmen they might build and the fun of snowball fights ahead.

A Christmas feast is laid out in the Dining Room and in the Great Parlour a winter wonderland surprise awaits.

The house opens at 10.30am and last entrance is 3.30pm, please collect a timed ticket from Visitor Reception on arrival.

Head on over to the restaurant for a winter treat and don't forget to browse the shop for Christmas gifts.
