Kingston Lacy's magical Christmas ball
A glistening Christmas deserves an equally elegant ball that will sweep you off your feet. Follow the story of a wonderous woodland winter ball in the house and gardens, with plenty of festive magic to discover.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Explore the house and gardens, decorated for a spectacular Christmas ball. You'll follow the story as you move through the spaces, from quiet side rooms full of gossip and speculation, to the spectacular woodland dance floor and feast.
Outside, the woodland creatures have been drawn into the garden and are ready to be discovered under the giant Christmas tree outside the house.
The winter ball in the house can be enjoyed daily 10.30am to 3pm (excluding 25/26 December)
Please note: Kingston Lacy is closed on 25 December, and the house is closed on 26 December.
