Georgian Christmastide

This festive season, we invite you to step inside Castle Ward and experience the Mansion dressed for a traditional 18th century Christmas.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Step inside the house and see it much as the Georgians might, ready for Christmastide celebrations.

The Georgians did nothing by halves, so expect lavish tablescapes, rooms dressed with fresh greenery and plenty of festive food and wine for the upcoming parties.

The house will be open for free-flow exploration during Christmastide, no need to pick up a ticket in Reception.
