Celebrate Christmas at Croft Castle with a magical twist on Victorian tradition. Discover immersive rooms, supersized decorations and festive experiences filled with the sights, sounds and scents of the season.

A High Victorian Christmas at Croft

From Saturday 28 November until Sunday 3 January, visitors can step inside the castle and get transported back in time to the Victorian era as we celebrate ‘A High Victorian Christmas’ at Croft. From sweeping greenery to twinkling candles and of course not forgetting the show-stopper Christmas trees you’ll be swept away to a time once passed this festive period.
