Christmas at Bodiam Castle
Unwrap Bodiam Castle this Christmas. With twinkling lights, Christmas trees in tower rooms, Father Christmas’s sleigh in the castle courtyard and warming treats in the Wharf tea-room, experience the charm of Bodiam Castle this Christmas.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Enjoy a magical Christmas and embrace the festive spirit at Bodiam Castle. You can write letters to Father Christmas in the castle grotto, while his sleigh awaits in the courtyard – perfect for climbing aboard, dressing up in festive costumes and snapping a memorable Christmas photo.
Explore the castle as you look for gifts left by a naughty elf on a festive family-friendly trail (£2 per trail, includes a small prize) and there’s magical storytelling on selected dates too.
On selected dates, enjoy live Christmas music in the castle courtyard performed by local music groups. Why not celebrate the festive season with friends and family and book a 2 or 3 course Christmas lunch at the Wharf tea-room.
Come back for more info soon.
