Steeped in history, Nunnington Hall provides the perfect backdrop for a traditional Christmas day out. Get lost in times gone by as you traverse through the rooms, each one decorated with inspiration from decades and centuries past. Enjoy one of two special festive evenings when the doors are open after dark, a festive drink is served on arrival and a choir performs around the firepit. And then there is also the chance of spotting the man in red himself. Below are the key events taking place at Nunnington this year in the lead up to Christmas.

Christmas through the ages

Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays from Friday 22 November until Sunday 15 December 2024, 10.30am - 4pm (Last admission 3.15pm)

Step into the opulence of the Georgian era, the splendour of the Victorian golden age, see a Tudor feast fit for a King, or relive the exuberant 1980s parties. Envision Christmas as it may have been celebrated by the families who once called Nunnington Hall their home.

On Sundays we'll be visited by a local choir, who will be singing Christmas carols in the Oak Hall.

Normal admission applies. Free entry for National Trust members and under fives.

Festive evenings

Saturday 7 and Saturday 14 December 2024, 6-8.30pm

For two nights in December, the hall will be open to wander around at a time not usually open to visitors when the candles glow and the decorations look truly enchanting.

Grab a mulled wine and listen to a visiting choir around the firepit. On these special evenings you can see the house dressed for Christmas and step into the opulence of the Georgian era, the splendour of the Victorian golden age, see a Tudor feast fit for a King, or relive the exuberant 1980s parties.

Envision Christmas as it may have been celebrated by the families who once called Nunnington Hall their home.

No need to book, normal admission applies, with free entry to National Trust members and under fives.
