Christmas at Greenway

Christmas decorations

Greenway House was the holiday home of Agatha Christie, and all the family would gather here to celebrate the season.

Rooms would be dressed with traditional decorations, collected over the years by Agatha and her family, and they would spend the holidays enjoying Greenway and its secluded garden. From playing family Christmas games, to Christmas feasts at the dining table and reading books by the fire, it was an idylic family holiday.

It was also the time of year when Agatha would release a new novel, and devoted fans would purchase one (either for themselves or a loved one) as a gift - prompting the phrase 'a Christie for Christmas'.

This Christmas soak up the seasonal cheer as the ground floor of the house twinkles and sparkles with traditional decorations. Volunteer pianists will fill the house with cheer, so come along and sing your favourite carol or thave a go at fun wreath crafts in the House Kitchen.
