Christmas at Lyme

Get into the festive spirit with a visit to Lyme this Christmas. Step into the house where Christmas has been interrupted by an animal takeover, go on a winter walk through the estate and listen to some Christmas carols in the Timber Yard.

Christmas in the house

Christmas starts with a bang as the carnival comes to Lyme. Step into the house where Christmas has been interrupted by an animal takeover. Seeking refuge from extreme rain, the house becomes home to magnificent and unusual beasts.

For the first time, the house will be open every day from 1–24 December.

Christmas music at Lyme

Join in with some Christmas carols in the Timber Yard and you'll feel jolly in no time. It's the most wonderful time of the year to get together with your friends and family and sing to your heart's content. Why not pick up a hot chocolate from the café while you're there?

Winter walks

Wrap up warm and explore the garden or head out to the wider estate for walks through woodland and across the moorland for far-reaching views. With over 1,400 acres to enjoy there is something for all ages and abilities. Head into the garden for accessible paths perfect for wheelchairs and buggies. Pick up a walking leaflet from the ticket office or download one from the website.
