A Regency Christmas at Mompesson House

About

Step back in time and immerse yourself in a Regency Christmas at Mompesson House. Christmas at Mompesson starts on Friday 21 November and runs until Tuesday 23 December, Friday - Tuesday, 11am-3.30pm (last entry at 3pm).

In the Regency era, Christmas celebrations stretched over a month, from Advent to Twelfth Night. Explore each room, revealing a different tradition of a Regency Christmas. See how Mrs Portman might have decorated the house with greenery, and imagine the season's most anticipated event: the Twelfth Night Ball. The Dining Room will be decorated for a grand Christmas Day feast, aglow with many candles.

Look forward to abundant seasonal greenery throughout the house. A magnificent garland will adorn the oak staircase, and our Christmas trees will sparkle with glass baubles and unique paper decorations crafted by Mompesson volunteers.

The tea-room and second-hand bookshop will be open as usual at Mompesson this Christmas. After exploring the house, enjoy a hot drink and a festive treat in the tea-room. Light lunches are available including warming soup, toasted sandwiches and a savoury cheese tea. Pop into the festively decorated second-hand bookshop for Christmas gifts for family and friends.
