Bodnant Garden is open all year-round (apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and this 2019 festive season it’s the perfect place to escape the high street for some traditional family together-time.
The star on our tree is the Elves’ Workshop. Drop in at the marquee in the Dell and enjoy making Christmas crafts with our merry band of Bodnant elves. Join us on Saturdays and Sundays: November 30 and December 1, December 7 and 8, December 14 and 15, December 21 and 22, from 11am to 2.30pm. This activity is free and there's no booking required (normal garden admission applies) though sessions are popular so we advise getting to the garden early.
The whole family can warm up with our special festive food menu at the Dell kiosk and enjoy marshmallow toasting around the brazier.
The fun starts at our Welcome Centre when you arrive. Pick up a Magic Penny to start your visit and follow the long Robin’s Secret Trail or short, step-free Lantern Trail to the Dell. These trails are free and self led, and will be on daily throughout the Christmas holidays.
Christmas and winter events at Bodnant Garden:
The National Trust Gift shop and Bodnant Garden Centre offer a huge range of Christmas ideas, from cards, decorations and gifts to plants, and of course Christmas trees and wreaths.
