Christmas at Plas Newydd

Put on your dancing shoes this Christmas and immerse yourself in festive spirit at Plas Newydd. Get the whole family together and enjoy a silent disco, inspired by a Christmas Eve party held by the 5th Marquess, Henry Cyril Paget, during his time here.

See the magnificent star-topped Christmas tree reaching for the gallery as you enter the Gothick Hall. In your Christmas jumpers, hats or maybe just a bit of sparkle, you’ll then be ready to join us for a bop and a boogie in the Music Room.

Grab a selfie beside the 7ft Christmas wreath in the Sunroom Courtyard. See how many golden stars you can count dotted throughout the surrounding flower beds.  Refuel with a warming hot chocolate before enjoying a winter walk around the garden. Take time to relax and take in the views across the Menai Strait. 

Remember, don't be fashionably late! Arrive 10 minutes before your pre-booked event start time. Headphones are supplied so you’ll be all ready to head in and get dancing! No heeled shoes please as it helps us look after the floor in the Music Room – we’d love to enjoy lots more dancing in the future too!

Be sure to bring either a printed or an electronic confirmation of your tickets with you.
