The Knight Before Christmas
Bring the whole family and experience the wonder of Christmas the old-fashioned way! Twinkling lights, fresh pine, and a cosy tour through Canons Ashby house; what more could you want for Christmas?
- Booking essential
Join us for a special after-hours tour around the house when it is decorated for Christmas. Inspired by Arthurian legend come and see the decorations which are full of knights, wizards, and dragons. They are sure to be even more atmospheric in the evening!
After the tour warm up with a class of mulled wine or hot chocolate and a mince pie, included in the ticket price.
Please note that the shop and tea-room will be closed upon arrival as this event takes place outside of our normal operating hours.
This tour is not exhaustive of all the decorated areas: the rest of the decorated areas can be visited as part of a normal standard daytime visit.
