A Pantomime Christmas at Hinton Ampner

Join us this Christmas and discover scenes from your most loved pantomimes. Twinkling fairylights and decorations galore will shimmer their magic across our beautiful house and set your heart aglow with festive joy.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

Discover a selection of scenes from your most loved pantomimes behind the doors of Hinton Ampner and let the treasured tales cheer you into Christmas! Bask in the glow of Aladdin’s lamp, see Jack's magic beans and a glittering Cinderella slipper, spot Snow White's sumptuous forest feast and marvel at a quilted mountain of mattresses made ready for a sleepy princess.

Our youngest visitors are invited to take part in a seasonal spotter's trail - help our stage hands find the panto props but be quick - the show is about to begin!

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. Don't forget to pop into our sweetshop too!
