Christmas Ghost Stories

Don’t be alarmed by the tick of the clock or darkening shadows as you take part in an old Victorian tradition of ghost stories at Christmas.

  • Booking essential

You are invited to take a seat in front of the beautifully decorated Great Hall fireplace on a quiet December evening. Listen in close as the Lady in Black returns this Christmas to tell you some of her most spine-chilling ghost stories from historic houses across the land.

Enjoy cake and a drink in our Home Farm Restaurant (Mince Pie or Chocolate Brownie & Tea or Coffee) prior to the performance, before heading to the Great Hall.
