Jingles the jester has lost his socks
16 November – 5 January
Step into a whimsical garden adventure with Jingles the Jester, who's lost his brightly coloured Christmas socks during his playful antics. Jingles calls out for your assistance to reunite him with all his favourite socks hanging from the trees and lost in the bushes. Why not join in on a fun-filled journey entering the jester's playful world.
Purchase a trail for £3 from the visitor reception which also includes a prize (normal admission applies).
Christmas and winter walks
The lead-up to Christmas is a lovely time to go on a long family walk, followed by a warming hot chocolate. Pick up a map from the car parks or visitor reception to check which walk would best suit you and your family.
The shorter walks include the orchards, which provide a level space to run around, and the woodlands which are very atmospheric on a drizzly day. The longer walks here are between three and four miles and offer panoramic views of the estate; these are hillier than the shorter walks and can get very muddy in winter.
See if you can spot some festive surprises as you walk around the orchards this Christmas.
During winter, the parkland will be open every day from 10am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm). The whole of Brockhampton is closed on 24, 25 and 26 December.
Warm up at the Granary
Once you’ve explored the outdoors head to the Granary kiosk for some light refreshments and a hot drink to warm you up. We will be serving hot and cold drinks, light lunches, cakes and some festive treats throughout the Christmas period.
