A Fairytale Christmas at Nymans

  • Free event (admission applies)

Step into a fairytale inspired Christmas at Nymans. 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. 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. Find out why the princess couldn’t sleep, 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.
