Already a feast for the eyes, Strawberry Hill House will have an extra sense of magic this Christmas.
This December, Strawberry Hill House will be bringing the magic of the Flower Festival into the historic, gothic halls of the House, transforming it for Christmas. Expect to see three breathtaking tablescapes in selected chambers of Walpole’s little gothic castle, with beautifully decorated trees and decorations placed throughout the house. Curators from the Flower Festival team will craft an artistic vision for the tablescapes, inspired by flowers, foliage, dried, and natural elements available in the UK at this time of year. Each design will come to life, responding creatively to the unique atmosphere and beauty of this magical setting.
Activities for the season include Christmas Wreath-making sessions on Sunday 1 December. Join Lilian from Lilian’s Flowers and sustainable flower farmer, Char Johnston, in making a natural woodland Christmas wreath, embellished with hand-dried flowers. 10:30am to 1pm & 2.00pm to 4:30pm Adult tickets: £75.
