Magical late evenings at Erddig
Discover Erddig at night, with twinkling lights, marshmallow toasting and the magic of A Christmas Carol brought to life in the historic house.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
As daylight fades and evening settles over Erddig, discover the magic of Christmas in a whole new light.
For four special evenings from 14 to 17 December, the historic house, courtyards, shop and restaurant stay open after dark, giving you more time to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Step inside the beautifully decorated house, where scenes from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol unfold around you. Sparkling chandeliers, fairy lights and seasonal decorations bring the much-loved story of Ebenezer Scrooge to life.
Outside, explore the courtyards beneath twinkling lights, enjoy some marshmallow toasting, browse for Christmas gifts or warm up with a hot chocolate as the winter evening draws in.
Father Christmas and Mother Christmas will also be welcoming visitors to the Reverse Grotto from 4pm to 6pm. Bring a donation for Wrexham Foodbank and help spread a little festive kindness.
