For Christmas 2024 we invited visitors to step back in time for a festive Georgian Christmas at Quebec House in Kent. Imagine you’re a guest at an 18th century dinner party as you explore the decorated rooms and creative displays. Visit the Coach House to enjoy spiced hot chocolate and baked treats inspired by Mrs Wolfe’s recipes.

A Georgian feast

Discover a sumptuous Christmas banquet on display in the Bicentenary Room. Look out for the spectacular gingerbread models of Quebec House and the Coach House on the landing. Hear the sounds of a dinner party and imagine the elaborately styled wigs in each scene belong to fellow party guests.

Scrumptious treats

In the kitchen, our volunteer cooks will be preparing delicious bakes from Henrietta Wolfe’s cookbook.

Taste these 18th century treats for yourself next door in the Coach House. Made to traditional Georgian recipes using dried fruits rather than meat, our volunteer cooks will be making mince pies as well as brewing spiced hot chocolate.
