If a traditional Christmas celebration is your goal then Hidden England is the place to be.
Belvoir by Candlelight is a feast of old style Christmas cheer. The Castle is decorated in traditional style and lit by candles as it would
have been a century ago and musicians and choirs entertain you in every room. Or visit Belton House in any of three weekends in December
and see the House decorated for Christmas. There are special activities for children and, naturally, a visit from Father Christmas.
Belton also offers an opportunity to join in with Christmas Carols in the Marble Hall on the 8th and 9th of December - with mulled wine and mince pies provided.
To solve your Christmas present problems, Burghley, Belton, Belvoir and Rockingham will be open for Christmas shopping, and at Burghley the annual Christmas Craft Fair from 7 to 10 December provides a wonderful selection of crafts and gift ideas.
Of course, the thought of eating drinking and shopping may simply be too much. If that’s the case then why not join a Winter Walk at Belton on
10 December.
For details of all the Christmas events in the Houses of Hidden England visit here or the web sites of the individual houses. Many events are limited in numbers and pre-booking is essential. Please check opening dates and times before setting out for any visit as at this time of the year opening times are limited. If in doubt please telephone the House of your choice. All the contact details are also on our website.
