Join us for A Fairytale Christmas at Nymans this winter, inspired by the magic of much-loved stories. In the garden, a Christmas family adventure trail awaits, leading you through classic fairytales. Find Aladdin’s cave of treasures, play a game with Red Riding Hood’s basket of treats and take a seat in Cinderella’s carriage. Created by Tin Shed scenery, the makers of last year’s magical Narnia-inspired garden trail. Delve deeper into a land of make-believe inside the house, where rooms are transformed into well-known scenes and Christmas trees are given a fairytale twist. See who's sleeping in the Garden Hall, what grows from magic beans and who had a nibble at the Three Bears’ Christmas dinner. Warm up in the cosy bookshop, browse artisanal gifts in the shop and enjoy a meet up with friends and family in one of our spacious cafes. Free trail with admission.
