A s winter settles in, Wimpole Estate changes into a festive wonderland filled with tradition, community and the magic of Christmases past. This year, travel through time at Wimpole Hall and marvel at the Memory Tree, decorated with photographs from visitors’ trips throughout the years. In the Yellow Drawing Room, discover a merry montage of classic Christmas hits from days gone by; in the Red Room, try your hand at Christmas origami; and in the Saloon, admire the community christmas tree, beautifully decorated by local schools in partnership with Kelly’s Kitchen. Step into the Breakfast Room for a nostalgic 70s Christmas, or test your knowledge by guessing the songs behind the music-themed decorations found in the Grand Dining Room. The Grand Staircase shimmers with a snowfall scene, while the Housekeeper’s Room captures the warmth of a traditional family Christmas, where you can even have a go at stirring the Christmas pudding.
Across the estate at The Old Rectory, the Stables Cafe and the Farm Cafe, enjoy hearty winter lunches, festive sweet and savoury treats and warming drinks with seasonal syrups. When it’s time to shop, wander into the Stable Block, where carefully chosen gifts, local produce and exclusive National Trust ranges await. It’s a relaxed alternative to the high street, with thoughtful, sustainable gifts made to last. This festive season, embrace the joy of togetherness, the comfort of tradition and the beauty of shared memories at Wimpole Estate.
