In 2023 inspired by the song The Twelve Days of Christmas, visitors enjoyed a festive Christmas experience at Sunnycroft during December. Visits to Sunnycroft were by pre-booked ticket at this special time of year. Planning for Christmas 2024 is now underway, and details will be updated on the website in Summer 2024.

The Twelve Days of Sunnycroft Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, Sunnycroft gave to me… its own unique take on a well-known festive song.

For 2023 we took inspiration from The Twelve Days of Christmas song, but with a touch of Sunnycroft magic and charm.

Visitors took a step inside the house, saw it dressed for Christmas and discovered how the collection lends itself to The Twelve Days of Christmas.

All visits to Sunnycroft in December were pre-booked in advance.

Visiting Father Christmas

In 2023 Father Christmas will be stoped off at Sunnycroft to meet families as they visited The Twelve Days of Christmas. Each child received a small gift from Father Christmas.

Planning for Christmas 2024 is now underway, and details will be updated on the website in Summer 2024.

Behind the Magic

While Father Christmas was busy elsewhere, visitors experienced a exclusive look at how Sunnycroft was transformed for the festive season with the theme the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Once arrived, visitors made their own way around the ground floor of the house, saw it dressed for Christmas and discovered how the collection lends itself to the Twelve Days of Christmas, in a way that only Sunnycroft can.

Father Christmas was not at Sunnycroft for these ‘Behind the magic’ sessions.
