Christmas Late Night Opening 2026

Don't miss the last late night opening of the House dressed for Christmas at night. Get your photo in front of the big tree, grab a hot chocolate and do some last minute Christmas shopping.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 December for an evening of cosy Christmas music, activities and entertainment. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the historic house after dark, beautifully decorated with twinkling lights, elegant Christmas trees, and traditional holiday ornaments. The evening will offer a rare chance to enjoy the estate’s rich history and festive cheer in an unforgettable setting.

Please note only the House shop and Tea-room are accessible during the late night opening. The gardens and trails will be closed as there is no lighting around the wider estate.
