'A Christmas Carol' experience
Scrooge is on the rampage and it's up to us to cheer him up! Follow the story of 'A Christmas Carol' through the formal gardens and into the mansion where Scrooge is counting his coins by candlelight... and he's in a terrible mood.
Meet the ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come as they try their hardest to teach him the true meaning of Christmas. Make Jacob Marley's paper chains and see if you can melt Scrooge's heart with a Christmas card or two...
What else is going on?
Families can make a Christmas wish and hang it on our wish tree, sing along with our choirs, play Christmas parlour games, make a pomander, stir the Twelfth Night Cake and create Christmas crafts.
Ho ho ho…
We've had a letter from Lapland to confirm it... Father Christmas will be pulling up his sleigh at Tredegar House this year! He’s promised a gift for all the children and is looking forward to seeing everyone again.
He's a popular man so we'll give you a timed ticket for entry when you visit our welcome team at reception. There's no need to pre-book but please be aware the closer to Christmas we get the busier he becomes.
Christmas craft stalls
Racking your brain to think up that perfect gift for your special someone? Never fear, pop along to our Christmas craft stalls where we're sure you'll find something wonderful.
Local craftspeople will be selling their handmade products in our Christmassy barn next to the Brewhouse Tearooms - it's the best way to break free of the high street this festive season.
A festive feast
Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a glut of traditional treats. Pop into the Servants Hall for a home-made mince pie and a glass of warming spiced mulled wine.
