Christmas at Brockhampton
Step back in time and discover how the families would have celebrated the night before Christmas at Brockhampton throughout its 600 years.
Inside the manor house
From Saturday 28 November to Sunday 3 January, visitors can enjoy the twinkling of candles and food being prepared for an almighty feast inside the manor as we celebrate the poem ‘Twas the Night before Christmas. Families can enjoy spotting the Christmas mice inside the manor, waiting patiently for the arrival of Father Christmas. The manor will be decorated according to the era of each room meaning visitors can take great pleasure in experiencing Christmas through the ages here in this special six-hundred-year-old home.
Christmas events
Families can take part in a ‘Twas the night before Christmas trail which runs throughout the orchards of Brockhampton. Trail sheets can be collected from Visitor Reception; they are £3 each and children will receive a small prize too.
Families will be able to meet Father Christmas on selected dates in December, two of these dates include weekday slots which are perfect for children who prefer or require a more relaxed environment.
Christmas and winter walks
Enjoy a festive family walk at Brockhampton this Christmas, with trails for all ages—from gentle orchard strolls to longer scenic routes. Pick up a map and look out for seasonal surprises along the way.
Warm up at the Granary
Once you’ve explored the outdoors head to the Granary tea room 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.
