Step into a world of Georgian elegance, where candlelit rooms, refined interiors and seasonal greenery set the scene for a celebration steeped in tradition.

Inside the mansion

From Saturday 21 November Sunday 3 January, visitors can step back in time to the Georgian era and experience the build up to Christmas inside the mansion before the big day itself. Inside the mansion, experience all the sights and smells of the Georgian festive period from the food being prepared for a traditional feast to the glorious dining table, with all its fine silverware polished to perfection.

Christmas events

Families can follow our fun ‘Georgian Christmas Party’ trail which runs throughout the garden at Berrington. This is a great way to learn more about the festive period during the Eighteenth Century and there’s even a small prize at the end. Trails can be purchased from Visitor Reception and are £3 each.

Horse and carriage rides are back at Berrington from this December, this year we have added a pre-booking system so families can choose their preferred timeslot. You can book your tickets and secure your spot by clicking here.

With support from the head gardener in a small group, create a bespoke piece to adorn your front door to welcome guests this Christmas.
