Christmas events
We are unable to host our Father Christmas grotto this year, but children can post thier letters to him in our special Christmas postbox found in the festively decorated undercroft from early December to the last post collection on Wednesday 22 December. Make sure to leave us an email address or a stamped, addressed envelope with your letter, and you may even recieve a reply from the man himself!
Join us in the Manor on 11, 12, 14, 18, 19 and 21 December to see our re-enactment team dressed as the Mander's servants.
It’s Christmas Eve 1894 at Wightwick Manor – the final preparations are being made. Our new extension has just been built and guests will find Theodore Mander and Engineer Mr Dunn discussing the Christmas arrangements in the corridor by the gentleman’s cloakroom.
The Cook is busy in the kitchen finalising the Christmas day menu. Nanny is preparing presents for the children. Traditionally the family exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, Christmas day being filled with food, games and festivities. As you continue into the domestic area, listen to their conversations, join in and ask questions if you wish. Nanny particularly enjoys demonstrating the parlour games with the visiting children.
There may be a few other special, festive guests visiting us around the site too...
This experience is part of your normal visit around the Manor and can be enjoyed by all. Normal admission costs apply, no booking required.
