From the much-loved Christmas Trees for sale and two festive Christmas Fairs to Santa’s Grotto and the opening of the enchanting Gardens, the experience promises to be unforgettable.

Starting on November 23rd, Boughton will open its doors for the sale of premium British-grown Nordmann Fir Christmas trees, alongside handmade wreaths, tree stands, decorations, and unique gifts from the historic 18th-century Stableyard.

On Saturday 30^th November and Sunday 1st December, Boughton has invited British Info Group to hold a special Christmas Craft Fair in the historic Gardens, Coach House, Tapestry Suite and Tearoom, with a whole host of local stall holders taking part and free entry. Visitors can also book a place on a festive wreath making session with Posie and Plume at the event, creating their own masterpiece to adorn their front door! Bookings for wreath making can be found here and must be made in advance: britishinfogroup.co.uk/wreathmakingworkshopatboughtonhouse.

Clare Hinde, organiser said “The Christmas Fair is a wonderful way to start feeling festive and begin ticking off your Christmas list in the magnificent surroundings of Boughton House. There is a mix of stall holders featuring luxury home interior goods, handmade cakes, local food, beautiful graphic design and gifts. And with free entry, it is not to be missed!”
