Take time out in the hectic lead up to Christmas to enjoy the festive fun at selected English Heritage properties and make the most of a special 10% discount on English Heritage gifts and decorations.
Why not leave the crowded high streets behind and experience festive fun with a twist? Join the royal falconers at Battle Abbey, East Sussex as they demonstrate their skills and re-create their roles at Christmas time in Plantagenet England, or discover how the Victorians did it, with a truly Victorian Christmas at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Visitors will delight in traditional side-shows and perhaps even meet the great Queen herself. For a different perspective, take a tour below stairs to the bustling service wing at Audley End in Essex and meet a host of 1880s servants as they busily prepare the big house for Christmas, cooking seasonal dishes and attending to the family and their guests.
For an extra festive treat, keen shoppers can enjoy Christmas shopping at a more relaxed pace in some of England’s most stunning locations at English Heritage’s special shopping weekends. Take advantage of a 10% discount on exclusive English Heritage gifts and decorations, including handcrafted glassware, children’s costumes and historic cookery books. Meanwhile, Belsay Hall in Northumberland will again be hosting its annual Christmas Festive Gift Fair.
