Christmas at Baddesley Clinton

At Baddesley this Christmas, from 29 November – 4 January, there is great excitement as a long-awaited white Christmas is anticipated.

The kitchen is all abustle with the preparation of festive food, the log fire in the Great Hall is burning to keep the chill at bay and the children are dreaming of the snowmen they might build and the fun of snowball fights ahead.

A Christmas feast is laid out in the Dining Room and in the Great Parlour a winter wonderland surprise awaits.

The house opens at 10.30am and last entrance is 3.30pm.

Don't forget to head on over to the Barn Restaurant for a winter treat and browse the shop for Christmas gifts.

With themes of friendship, imagination and adventure, the well-loved story of The Snowman™ is the perfect festive trail to explore with friends and family.
