Step into the warmth of this much-loved Tudor manor, where the rooms are dressed for the season with sparkling trees, twinkling lights and beautiful handmade decorations.

Christmas reflections of Baron's world tour

We invite you to join Baron Ash on his grand adventure. In 1910/11, aged 21, he travelled to 11 countries. Leaving Liverpool in August he started his journey in North America, travelled by boat and train through Asia, Africa and Europe, arriving home in April 1911.  He kept a diary in which he recorded all the cultures he encountered. This Christmas we invite you to enjoy beautifully decorated rooms which reflect the memories of his travels and the countries he visited.

After exploring the house and gardens, stop by the Café for a hot chocolate or hearty winter lunch, and browse the shop for thoughtful Christmas gifts and seasonal treats.

The house is open from 11am to 4pm.

Celebrate the festive season at Packwood, from 29 November – 4 January.
