It's Christmaaas! at Hanbury Hall

This Christmas Lets Do The Time Warp Again as we celebrate in true retro style inside the Hall. The tinsel will be glowing, the laughter will be flowing, the Babycham will be popping and the Slade hits will be dropping – we’re turning back the clock for a nostalgic trip back in time.

Take a trip down memory lane

Saturday 30 November 2024 to Sunday 5 January 2025

This Christmas, we're turning back the clock for a nostalgic trip back to the 1970s and 80s.

Get a blast from the past as you explore the house dressed for the Christmas we all remember: a riot of colour, with bright lights, baubles and tinsel galore.

Sip on a Babycham or a Snowball bought from the Del Boy bar (cash only please) as you explore the decorated rooms, from opening presents on Christmas morning in the Ladies Parlour, to Christmas evening TV and board games in the Great Parlour.

While you're here why not reminisce over your favourite toys from the era, or wander around listening to all the Christmas number ones? You might even spot Father Christmas having a snooze in front of the television.

The Hall will be open daily from 10am - 4pm, with last entries at 3.45pm.

No booking needed, just turn up on the day and join in the party!

There is no additional charge to visit Hanbury Hall during 'It's Christmaaas!', but standard admission charges to enter the property still apply. Entry is free for National Trust members.

Please note: the whole property will be closed on 24 and 25 December.

9:30am - 4pm daily

This year's Christmas exhibition in the Long Gallery celebrates the music and fashions of the 1970s and 1980s, as remembered by the staff and volunteers of Hanbury Hall and Greyfriars.
