Christmas at Nunnington Hall
Steeped in history, Nunnington Hall provides the perfect backdrop for a traditional Christmas day out. This year we've embraced community and co-creation and are excited to introduce 'Nature's Noel: A Greener Christmas'.
Nature's Noel: A Greener Christmas
Open Friday to Sunday from Friday 21 November until Sunday 14 December, 10.30am - 4pm (Last admission 3pm)
A beautiful festive experience created in collaboration with local charities, social groups, schools, and community members.
We have invited organisations to decorate Christmas trees around the theme of 'caring for nature'. Each tree will feature eco-friendly decorations made from natural or recycled materials, reflecting our shared commitment to the environment. Around 20 trees will be displayed throughout the Hall, each telling a unique story of community spirit and care for the planet. Complementing this will be natural displays, garlands, wreaths, and swags.
Enjoy seasonal food and hot drinks in our tearoom
Treat you and your family to some delicious festive specials during your visit.
Tuck into turkey and stuffing baps or turkey cranberry and stuffing croque in the beautifully decorated tearoom, and choose a festive treat to finish, including crumble topped mince pie, yule log or a hot Christmas pudding served with brandy sauce.
Our festive hot drinks are also not to be missed with mulled wine, mulled apple juice and a mince pie hot chocolate all on the menu.
Normal admission applies to visit the house, gardens and tearoom. Free entry for National Trust members and under fives.
Late night opening
Saturday 6 and Saturday 13 December, 4-8pm
For two evenings in December, the hall will be open to wander around at a time not usually open to visitors when the candles glow and the decorations look truly enchanting.
