Christmas at Wimpole Hall

Wimpole Hall is an impressive 17th century mansion on a large estate featuring parklands, gardens and a rare breeds farm. During the day, the Mansion House will be decorated for Christmas with local choirs singing Christmas carols.

After we’ve explored the house and gardens and fed the pigs at the farm, we’ll leave the estate for an early dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Following our meal, we’ll return to Wimpole for the magnificant after-dark Illuminations trail that brings the estate to life with over a million twinkling lights and seasonal sounds. Street food vendors along the trail will be providing tempting treats such as hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows
