Winter at Erddig 

Winter is a delightful time for families to visit Erddig Hall and Garden, where there’s plenty to enjoy, regardless of the weather. Wrap up warm and head out to explore the garden, setting fun challenges to see who can run the fastest down the pleached limes. 

Walking around the 1,200-acre estate is an excellent way to engage in several of the '50 Things to Do Before You’re 11¾' activities’. Kids can get to know a tree, skim stones at the riverbanks and play Pooh sticks from the bridges. Along the way, keep an eye out for the elusive green woodpecker, known for its vibrant plumage, adding an element of excitement to wildlife spotting. 

Inside the 17th-century stately home, festive decorations beautifully bring to life the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ to life. Children can embark on a special spotter trail, guiding them to charming details like handcrafted mice and stockings hung by the fire.
