Celebrate a 1930s Christmas at Upton

Dining room table at Christmas in crystal and silver

If you’re looking for something a little different this Christmas, Upton House has the answer with a festive calendar of events and the chance to see first hand how the previous owners created a Christmas family home perfectly in keeping with the arrival of the jazz era.

The house has been decorated to mirror how Lord and Lady Bearsted would have celebrated the festivities in the 1930s. There are A5 cards in four of the rooms giving hints and tips for how to recreate this stunning style in your own homes.

The stunning dolls' house in the inglenook will be decorated with twinkling lights and tiny Christmas decorations too. Also, talking of something a 'bit different', don't miss our magical 'winter woodland' display in the Picture Room.
