CHRISTMAS AT CASTLE HOWARD
Ad - We had a fantastic morning recently at the Media launch for the famous Christmas at Castle Howard
Tumble down the rabbit hole into a Christmas Wonderland like no other as this year's theme is :
𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆'𝒔 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝑾𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅
You can expect to see rooms dressed to impress with set pieces, floristry, decorations, projections and more
The centrepiece is the stunning 27ft Christmas tree with the prettiest décor. (22 people carried this into the castle!)
This year Alice is planning a Christmas party, and she invites you to follow the White Rabbit through Castle Howard’s grand halls and regal rooms with each twist and turn revealing lots of festive surprises!
For the kids
Kids can enjoy the White rabbit trail where you can help the white rabbit get to Alice's party.
Collect the clues as you go room to room. There's also fantastic Touch Boxes that the team have put together to enjoy.
The creative team at CLW events - headed by Charlotte Lloyd Webber and Adrian Lillie have yet again impressed us with some spectacular creations. The projections from Imitating the dog are also fantastic and really well done. Making the whole experience super magical.
This year the team has tried to make the whole experience as accessible as possible with British sign language interpreted guided tours, calm sessions and touch boxes which are sensory boxes filled with props and materials.
Don't miss the build your own crumble station!!
