We are excited to welcome you to join us over the festive period when our house is at its most atmospheric. Our house will be decorated from November 30th. We will be launching our latest exhibition of nativity scenes from around the world – perfect for the run up to Christmas – and have a ‘Twelve days of Christmas’ trail for children.

Our Christmas openings are between 11am and 3pm on Saturday November 30th, Sunday December 8th and  Saturday December 14th. There’s lots to explore, great gifts in our shop and children and dogs are very welcome.
