Christmas Storytime at Avebury
This year, families can meet Lady True Love, the recipient of the Twelve Days of Christmas gifts, in the beautifully decorated dovecote. Join her for an interactive storytime finishing with a Christmas gift.
- Booking essential
As part of this special event, families can meet Lady True Love under the twinkling lights of the historic dovecote. Up to eight children at a time will be able to cosy up as they take part in a fun interactive retelling of the Twelve Days of Christmas and receive a small gift. It's also the perfect photo opportunity if you want to share the memory.
Please note that the dovecote is limited for space so every child should be accompanied by one adult only. Tickets are £8 per child, their accompanying adult will not need a ticket.
Why not continue your visit by heading to the manor which has been decorated to tell the story of The Twelve Days of Christmas? For manor tickets, please enquire at visitor reception in the barn.
