Christmas at Sissinghurst Castle Garden
Join us for an Elizabethan Christmas at Sissinghurst Castle Garden from mid November onwards.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Explore our history beyond Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson by travelling back to the Elizabethan Era this Christmas period.
Enjoy a festive atmosphere in our quieter months with traditional decorations, Christmas trees, wreaths, and yule logs.
Don't miss a new installation by Aesme Studio that will see the garden entrance archway and the bottom of the Elizabethan Tower transformed with seasonal blooms, textures, urns, and more.
Book onto one of several wreath making workshops we're holding where you can create your very own wreaths to take home with you, using foliage from around Sissinghurst's garden and estate.
Shake off your Winter blues into Hey Nonny Nonny and discover how Christmas was celebrated at Sissinghurst over 400 years ago with our family trail.
Our full offer will be shared soon.
