Christmas at Avebury; The Twelve Days of Christmas
Avebury Manor has become well-known for the stunning handmade Christmas decorations and ornaments created by the talented volunteer team. This year, step into the Twelve Days of Christmas as we bring the classic song to life.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Avebury Manor is decorated to take you into the Twelve Days of Christmas. From a plump partridge surrounded by luxurious pears, and two romantic turtle doves, to eight maids milking in a traditional countryside scene, and nine ladies dancing in stunning hand-sewn gowns, each element of the song will be turned into a Christmas spectacle for all to enjoy.
There will also be family rooms dedicated to children's crafts and Christmas stories as well as Christmas activities across the site.
Why not end your visit with a delicious mince pie in the café or a trip to the National Trust gift shop where you can finish your Christmas shopping in style.
