Magical Christmas days out with the
National Trust
If you’re looking for fun, festive days out this Christmas, here’s what’s on with
the National Trust at these great places in Yorkshire:
Beningbrough Hall, Gallery
& Gardens, near York
Inspired by the resident
wildlife, look out for 14
scenes of winter wildlife
by artist Gerard Hobson,
hiding amongst the trees and
garden buildings.
There are swallows and
drumming woodpeckers
to find as well as a pair of
boxing hares, mice, weasels and stoats.
Father Christmas will be calling into Beningbrough too. Join him for
Storytime – Rewashed! A new and unforgettable experience in the
Victorian laundry to hear all about his adventures and travels…and
his holiday washing, once he’s found his suitcase! Places limited,
booking is essential.

Brimham Rocks, near Harrogate
During Christmas week, come for midwinter storytelling to celebrate
the myths and legends inspired by the season and the magical
landscape of Brimham Rocks. Join storyteller Noel Watkins for
interactive storytelling as he sparks your imagination through a series
of stories, songs and riddles inspired by the winter season. Booking is
essential.
Fountains Abbey & Studley
Royal, near Ripon
Come to Fountains Abbey
for a full festive day out with
your family. Have a winter
adventure to find Christmas
trees dotted around the
abbey and water garden.
Book to see Father Christmas
and get stuck into making
crafts. The abbey will also
be twinkling with colourful
light, and you can listen to Christmas music with choirs every
weekend.
Nunnington Hall, near Helmsley
Visit Nunnington Hall and see how Christmas would have been
celebrated over the centuries. See indulgent feasting from Georgian
times, how the Christmas tree was introduced by the Victorians, as
well as Christmas decorations from the 40s and 50s. How many
traditions from Christmases gone by do your family still do together?
Ormesby Hall, Middlesbrough
Experience the house at Christmas, with trees, twinkling lights and
decorations with an angelic touch. On weekends families can find
the angels through the house and follow the twelve days of Christmas
trail in the garden. They can also settle down for a story with Mrs
Christmas or make paper chains and baubles to hang on the tree.
