Its Christmas Eve 1849 and the Castle is decorated to help you step back in time to a thoroughly Victorian Christmas. The fires are lit, the food is prepared and the Great Hall Table is laid for a sumptuous Christmas Dinner. Guided tours take place throughout the day. Our Castle Gift Shop is stacked full of Christmas Ideas for friends and family. Our licensed Castle restaurant is open for Lunch, Tea and Supper or just a mulled wine and a mince pie.
