Christmas at Lamb House

Celebrate Christmas at Lamb House and explore a festive writer’s home, steeped in literary history.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Immerse yourself in the Christmas festivities at Lamb House and soak up the festive atmosphere, with beautiful hand-crafted decorations and seasonal greenery throughout.

Inspired by E.F. Benson’s beloved Mapp & Lucia novels, Lamb House will be transformed into 'Mallards', the festive fictional home of Miss Mapp and later Lucia. Expect a warm 'Tilling' welcome, and bid farewell with a jolly “au reservoir”.

With plenty of special memories and photo opportunities to take away from your visit, Christmas at Lamb House is not something to miss this year.

For the first time ever, Lamb House will be open during the ‘Twixmas’ period, welcoming visitors from 27 December to 3 January.

Christmas at Lamb House begins from 5th December, running until 3rd Jan. The house is closed on the 9th, 10th, 16th, 17th, 24th, 25th and the 26th.
