Christmas at Greys Court
Grab your programme, ticket and opera glasses and join us at Greys Court for a warm nostalgic Christmas inspired by the joy of Victorian theatre.
From 22 November to 4 January, immerse yourself in a wonderland of theatrical decorations, all inspired by the characters of Henry Irving, Lady Brunner's grandfather, and the magic of Victorian theatre. Beautifully adorned trees, garlands, and twinkling fairy lights welcome you against a background of candles, warmth and the scents of spices from Lady Brunner’s kitchen.
This year, the garden continues the theatrical theme with decorations infused the elements of a visit to the theatre wrapped with festive touches. Wreaths, twinkling lights and oversized baubles add gorgeous sparkle on a grey day.
Little ones can run off energy on a Christmas trail in the gardens.
Our car park can fill up on busy days, the quietest times to visit are weekdays, or before 11am and after 1pm.
Greys Court is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
