Christmas for families at Mottisfont

The Night Before Christmas runs from Saturday 24 November – Sunday 6 January, 10am-4pm (excluding 24 and 25 December). Normal property admission price, plus £1 per trail.

Families can follow in Father Christmas’s footsteps around the grounds with an active trail, great for warming up on cold days. Take part in Santa’s sack race, throw some presents down a chimney, and visit Father Christmas’s workshop in the Cellarium.

There’ll be simple activities for younger children, too, so there’s fun for all the family.   

You'll also find festive decorations all around the house, where you'll be able to spot mice hidden in secret corners. How many will you find?

Visiting Mottisfont with your family

There’s plenty of space to run, jump and play around our grounds, and always something for families to do. Bring along your wellies to try out our climbing bog while you visit, and remember to wrap up warm for your run around the grounds!
