Christmas House Experience
Get ready for the festive season as we open Godolphin House for special Christmas House Experience weekends. Soak up the festive atmosphere with performances from local choirs and see the house trimmed with estate-sourced decorations.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Enter through the decorated colonnades and wander through rooms dressed in traditional festive finery with seasonal touches that bring its historic charm to life. Settle into the cosy sitting room for a board game or a puzzle or let the children's imaginations run wild as they play dress-up in the Saloon. Join us in the dining room to craft your very own pomander decoration or purchase festive treats including mulled wine, mince pies and seasonal hot drinks.
As part of our Christmas House weekends there will also be performances by local choirs and musical groups who will be filling Godolphin with the sounds of their Christmas carols and music.
