Christmas at Uppark House and Garden

In the mansion house

Follow the festoon lights illuminating the approach to the mansion house before stepping into the entrance hall.  The guests have just arrived, and the party is about to begin!  Twinkling Christmas trees tower over you and swathes of garlands adorned with baubles in pinks and burgundy extend up the staircase.  Meander through these historical rooms, decked with Christmas decorations and feel the Christmas magic build as it has over hundreds of years in this home. 

Piles of presents are stacked in generous heaps beneath the Christmas trees, and an air of excitement and anticipation ahead of a cosy Christmas awaits.  Head into the dining room to take in the scene; a festive feast is there to be discovered.  Feel the lustrous glow of Christmas warmth and festive cheer grow as fairylights twinkle, baubles shimmer and chandeliers sparkle overhead.  

Around the garden and grounds

Outside, take a gentle stroll around the garden designed by Humphry Repton and through the meadow overlooking the magnificent South Downs, with views out towards the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

In the pre-loved bookshop

From classic volumes and colourful children’s tales to modern fiction and vintage treasures, discover something new (to you) to keep or to gift as a Christmas treat to friends or family.

Refuel at the kiosk

After you’ve marvelled at the mansion house and garden, reward yourself with a well-deserved warm brew and delicious seasonal treat from the kiosk.
