Join us this Christmas and discover scenes from your most loved pantomimes. Twinkling fairylights will shimmer their magic across our beautiful house. Every room of the ground floor will feature a different, pantomime. Come and bask in the glow of Aladdin’s lamp, see Jack's magic beans and a glittering Cinderella slipper, discover Snow White's sumptuous forest feast and marvel at a quilted mountain of mattresses made ready for a sleepy princess. Fe, fi, fo, fum, is that a giant I hear at Hinton Ampner?
Our garden will be the backdrop for beautifully decorated trees with twinkling lights and classic Christmas colours. Join us for a family adventure with our games and activities in the gardens. Our Christmas sleigh, parked in front of the house and pulled by wooden reindeer, makes a great family photo moment. There's room for a little one to climb on board and hold the reins. And don’t forget to pop into our Showtime Sweet Shop nearby, full of traditional treats.
We also have a selection of Christmas games and outdoor activities suggested for children ages 4 and above. Anyone for reindeer hoop-la?
