Christmas in the house at Calke Abbey

The house has been decked with a nature theme this Christmas and is ready and waiting to be explored.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Step inside and follow our specially selected Christmas route through the Entrance Hall, Saloon, Breakfast Room, Dining Room and Butler’s Pantry.

Enjoy wandering from room to room and delight in displays of colourful feathers, antlers on Christmas trees, a handcrafted pond on the Billiard Table, and lots of twinkly lights.

Continue your festive experience underground into the tunnels, which have transformed into Calke Park at night time. Visit our Christmas article to find out more.
