It's Christmaaas! at Hanbury Hall

Making the most of your visit – helpful hints and tips

• Arrival and parking

  It can get busy during the weekends, so we recommend that you arrive early (the Hall opens at 10am) or later after 2pm on those days. Please be aware that the last entry to the Hall is at 3.45pm. We have Blue Badge spaces available and the car park is a short walk away from Visitor Reception. Make sure to have your membership card at the ready for when you enter Visitor Reception to help make your entry as smooth as possible. There are toilets behind the Visitor Reception building.

• Have the best experience

  We recommend allowing around 3 hours for your visit. This will give you enough time to visit the Hall, café, and explore the gardens. There is plenty to see in the Hall, so make sure you give yourself lots of time to visit this area. Sometimes, during very busy periods, you may be asked to wait to enter the Hall. This is to make sure everyone inside has the best experience without overcrowding.

• Can I go round more than once?

  Absolutely! There are plenty of nostalgic details to spot throughout the Hall, so you may notice something different each time you visit.

• Buggies and bags

  Buggies/prams/pushchairs are not recommended inside the Hall and will need to be left just outside the Hall. Any umbrellas used on a rainy day will be put inside a plastic bag for you to take around with you.

• Are dogs allowed?

  Dogs are allowed in the gardens (except for the Formal gardens), parkland, and at the Stables Café. Assistance dogs are allowed in all areas.

• Is the experience accessible?

  Downstairs in the Hall is accessible and there is ramped access to help you get inside. There is no accessible route upstairs, so you will be offered the option to see a video of the upstairs area. The paths around the gardens are flat and accessible. We have two accessible toilets, one in the Stableyard and one in the Courtyard Kitchen.

• Rainy day?

  Don't let the winter weather put a dampener on your festive spirit. There's plenty to enjoy indoors at Hanbury Hall, making It’s Christmaaas! a great way to get into the Christmas spirit whatever the weather. If you are venturing outdoors, waterproofs and wellies are recommended.

• Festive Treats

  Tuck into some tasty treats with our festive flavoured drinks from gingerbread lattes to luxury hot chocolates. As well as pasties and sausage rolls, rounding everything off with some yummy festive bakes.
