Christmas Celebrations

At Beaulieu.

20th December - 4th January 2009.

Carols at Palace House, Gift ideas for Christmas, Snowman Ride, The Art of Custom Exhibiton in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu Abbey and Children's activities.

Palace House, home of the Montagu family since 1538, is a place of enchantment at this special time of year. Children can delve into the Box of Delights and dress up in period costumes, there will be carol singing and parlour games from yesteryear for everyone to enjoy.

Visitors can talk to characters from Victorian times to discover what life was really like 'Upstairs and Downstairs' at Christmas time and warm themselves in front of the yule log in the hearth of the great fireplace whilst enjoying a glass of hot fruit punch. The splendid Victorian-style decorations around the house and the magnificent Christmas tree in the Upper Drawing Room will add to the flavour and charm of the season.

Complex open: 10.00am - 5.00pm

Festive activities: 11.00am - 4.00pm (closed Christmas Day).
