This festive season, Arlington transforms into a magical wonderland centred around the enchanting theme of "A Storybook Christmas". As you step inside the historic mansion, you'll be transported into the pages of beloved literary classics. Outdoors, the magic continues along the interactive "Write Your Own Story" trail, where children can spin story wheels, tackle fun challenges, and craft their very own holiday adventure as they explore the estate's crisp grounds. Little ones will also love the storytelling sessions and rare visits from a traditional green Father Christmas tucked away in the cosy Reading Room.
Beyond the daytime magic, Arlington Court offers special late-night Christmas Open Evenings where families can experience the estate after dark, complete with marshmallow-toasting by outdoor fire pits, family craft sessions, and live Christmas carol performances. After soaking in the festive atmosphere, warm up in the tea room with hot chocolate and mince pies, or browse the pop-up mini market for unique local gifts. With its perfect blend of nostalgic charm, outdoor adventure, and cosy holiday treats, a visit to Arlington Court creates the kind of heartwarming Christmas memories your family will treasure for years to come.
