Christmas Memories at Wimpole Estate
Create new memories with old traditions at Wimpole Estate this Christmas.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
A daytime visit to Wimpole Hall this year will allow you to discover the magic of Christmas past. Explore grand rooms decked in full festive glory and relive the joy of childhood by playing beloved games like Pong and Buckeroo. With Christmas book readings and nostalgic prompts for people of all ages, this is a chance to step back in time while also creating new memories with family and friends.
Wimpole’s festive spectacle extends further to the Walled Garden and Farm. Go searching for snowmen in the Walled Garden, join in with seasonal craft activities in the Activity Barn, and the Great Barn will host a forest of community decorated Christmas trees. On certain days there will also be the chance to meet one of the heavy horses decked out in sleighbells.
With community choirs singing at weekends in the Chapel and Stable Block, gorgeous gifts in the shop, and festive offerings in the cafes, we invite you to experience the true spirit of a country Christmas at Wimpole.
Please check the hall opening hours for up-to-date timings, last entry 2.30pm. If you would like to share your favourite winter times at Wimpole, you can contribute pictures and thoughts for the Memory Tree that will welcome everyone in the Entrance Hall. Send your photo to wimpoleevents@nationaltrust.org.uk by November 13, we will be delighted to place them on the tree.
