Dad & daughter talking at Christmas-dressed Castle Ward.

About

Entering the house, your senses will awaken, and you will view the rooms just as the Georgians did in the dark and cosy Winter evenings ready for Christmastide.

The Georgians did nothing by halves, so expect lavish tablescapes, rooms dressed with fresh greenery and plenty of festive food and wine for the upcoming parties.

The house will be open for free-flow exploration during Christmastide, no need to pick up a ticket in Reception.
