York’s favourite stately home, Castle Howard, returns for the festive season with Christmas decorations that are bigger, and more beautiful than ever before.
Theatrical designers, Charlotte Lloyd Webber and Bretta Gereke, have designed the house with the theme of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’.
Children can enjoy picking out the clues of the Twelve Days of Christmas, while grown ups can admire the spectacular decorations. Older kids won’t miss out either, with an augmented reality experience on offer, too.
“Charlotte and Bretta have created a stunning scheme where you are drawn from room to room, and visitors young and old will love, with the familiar elements of the song woven into the colourful and sparkly displays.” – head of marketing, Abbigail Ollive.
As well as the theme of Twelve Days of Christmas, the displays take a deeper look into the traditions of the twelve days leading up to Christmas Day, with feasting playing a particularly important role.
The house and grounds open at 10am with last entry during the week at 3pm and 4pm on weekends. Admission prices for tickets booked in advance are £15.60 for adults, £14.80 for concessions and £8.80 for children. A family ticket is £41.60 (two adults and up to three children) or £24.80 (for one adult and up to three children). For more information visit www.castlehoward.co.uk
