In 2024, fairytales came alive at Mompesson House for a magical Victorian Christmas.
Christmas 2024 has now finished at Mompesson House
The below is information for 2024. Please check back here closer to Christmas 2025 when you will see updates on the exciting plans we have in store for you.
What is Christmas at Mompesson?
Mompesson will be open upstairs and downstairs for Christmas. Fairytales meet a Victorian Christmas in this immersive storytelling experience, perfect for both the young and the young at heart.
Discover the three bears' Christmas feast, follow Hansel's trail to the tea-room and listen to some fairy tales in the Library.
Family fun at Christmas
Throughout Christmas we'll have a free activity sheet to keep little minds occupied.
On weekends we'll have free storytelling sessions in the second-hand bookshop.
Our rooms will be decorated and suitable for all ages. Suggested age range 4+.
Eating and shopping at Mompesson this Christmas
The tea-room and second-hand bookshop will be open as usual at Mompesson this Christmas.
Summerhouse tea-room
Discover Hansel and Gretal in our conservatory tea-room and get cosy with a blanket and a hot drink or festive treat. We'll continue to serve light lunches, including warming soups and our new favourite savoury cheese afternoon tea.
Studio second-hand bookshop
Pop into our Jack and the Beanstalk-themed second-hand bookshop for handmade glass Christmas ornaments, vintage books and antique first editions. Why not try a Blind Date with a Book as an easy stocking-filler?

Christmas at Mompesson includes two of the rooms upstairs and the Library, which is not accessible to motorised wheelchairs. Printed guides to these rooms will be available as well as a video walkthrough.
Our Studio bookshop has seating and is a quiet zone. We also have children's ear defenders available to borrow at the front door.
