Festive evening at Ormesby Hall

Join us for a late-night opening and a chance to see the house decorated for Christmas at night, where each room invites you to wander through a different fairy tale realm.

There will be live festive music during the evenings, Mrs Christmas telling stories in the library and the café will be selling seasonal food and drink, including crumble pots, mince pies and mulled wine, with marshmallow toasting to enjoy by the fire pit on the evenings.

Please note the garden will be closed on the evening and the house and cafe close at 7.30pm.
