Christmas at Sissinghurst (24 November - 4 January)

Escape the crowds and enjoy a gentler Christmas atmosphere at Sissinghurst Castle Garden.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Enjoy a gentle, festive atmosphere during our quieter months with natural decorations, a dried flower display and wreath making workshops.

Drink in the late autumnal colours in and around the garden as textures crispen and colours pop, creating beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

Aesme Studio returns for another floral installment in the garden, celebrating the colder seasons. More details to follow.

Our ever-popular Christmas lunches are back between Tuesday 2 December and Monday 22 December, as well as lots of seasonal goodies to browse from in our gift and plant shops.

Tired of Christmas? Escape to Greece in the Oast Exhibition Space and discover our exhibition 'Passion and Politics: Sissinghurst and Greece'.
