What is Christmas at Mompesson?
For the first time Mompesson will be open upstairs and downstairs for Christmas.

Find the giant Christmas tree in the Large Drawing Room, dress up in the Library or sit at the Cratchits' table for a Christmas feast.
You can book a wreath workshop with private access to the house on Monday 4 December. Booking is available at the bottom of this page.
