Christmas Candlelit Late
Join us by candlelight for our inaugural Christmas Late. An unforgettable evening where you can embrace the festive spirit with a mince pie and a glass of fizz, while enjoying carols sung by the Strawberry Hill House Choir.
As night falls, explore Horace Walpole’s enchanting Gothic castle by candlelight, just as he envisioned it. Wander freely through shadowy corridors and chambers at your own pace—the very spaces that inspired Walpole to write The Castle of Otranto, the first Gothic novel.
This year, the beauty of the season extends further, as the magic from the curators of the Flower Festival fills three select chambers with breathtaking tablescapes, alongside stunningly decorated Christmas trees and ornaments placed throughout the house.
Event Highlights:
Candlelit Experience: Step into Strawberry Hill House as Walpole himself might have, wandering freely through rooms illuminated by the enchanting glow of candlelight. Explore at your own pace and let the atmosphere unveil its mysteries.
Festive Treats: Enjoy mince pies and a glass of fizz to toast the holiday season.
Live Choir: Christmas carols performed by the Strawberry Hill House Choir.
Standard ticket: £25
Members and Patrons: £20
Students: £20
Tickets available for arrival in slots from 5:30pm-7:30pm
