Description

Experience the magic of Christmas at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens this festive season.

Explore the gardens adorned with dazzling decorations inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas, and stay on the look out for our polar bear in the pond and a giant Advent calendar! Families will love discovering hidden gems, from a secret grotto to a garden trail. Continue your journey inside the beautiful Castle, where twinkling lights and Christmas trees fill the grand State Rooms with festive cheer.

On select December days, children can meet Santa himself and take home a special bag of reindeer food.

Be sure to warm up with hot chocolate or mulled wine and with festive treats at the café, to round off a perfect day out for all the family.
