Christmas at Nostell

Step into a Winter's Tale this Christmas at Nostell.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This Christmas, Nostell is transformed into a storybook adventure. From the 1940s railway station to snowy forests and Father Christmas’s woodland camp, the magic comes to life as you wander through the house.

Explore the grand mansion and imagine arriving as wartime evacuees

Discover a cosy woodland home filled with treasures and tea-time comforts

Follow the adventure into a magical wintery world 

Sit beneath banners of courage and pose with crowns before celebrating in the Great Hall

Peek inside the Dolls’ House and see if you can spot the winter-inspired decorations

Follow the story room by room before finishing the house experience with the enchanting gingerbread village. From here, at weekends, your journey continues through the garden to the glass house, where Father Christmas will make his appearance.

(Please note - to keep things moving, he may greet children in small groups during busy times).

We’re offering quieter Father Christmas sessions between 10am and 11am on 7, 14 and 21 December for children who would benefit from a calmer, less busy experience. If this would suit your family, please get in touch with us at 01924 863892 to reserve a place.

Tickets can be purchased on the day from the ticket office only. Father Christmas is included on a weekend combined ticket and there are no pre-bookable options. Free admission for members.
