Festive late nights at the Hall

We're staying open later so you can get into the Christmas spirit. Enjoy a visit to the hall with the north front beautifully lit and the indoors decorated for the season plus live music and festive treats in the Brewhouse.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Take the stress out of Christmas at Seaton Delaval Hall and enjoy a relaxed festive visit, no booking, no extra charges, just plenty of Christmas cheer.

Wrap up warm and join us for two special evenings of extended opening hours. See the Hall’s north front beautifully lit, then step inside to admire a giant suspended bauble in the Entrance Hall and Christmas decorations in the Saloon, Stables, and West Wing.

Enjoy live festive music, get creative with family crafts in the Stables Workshop, and warm up with seasonal treats from the Brewhouse.
