Bowhill Unveils a Season of Sparkle with “Tinsel, Toys and All the Joys”

This Christmas, Bowhill House & Grounds invites visitors to step into a world of warmth, wonder, and festive cheer with its enchanting seasonal events, Tinsel, Toys and All the Joys. From family experiences to creative workshops and winter walks, Bowhill promises a Christmas celebration brimming with tradition, magic, and memories waiting to be made.

Friday to Sunday throughout December, Bowhill’s picturesque grounds will come alive with festive activity. Families can enjoy the magic of Breakfast with Santa, where little ones share stories and laughter with the man in red over a delicious seasonal breakfast of pancakes and berries, while grown-ups savour a hearty breakfast roll and a warming drink. Later, children can meet Santa again in his beautifully transformed Christmas Grotto – a cosy, twinkling haven created by Santa’s elves within the Victorian Kitchen. Here, they’ll share their wish lists, receive a special gift, and capture the moment with a festive photo to treasure for years to come.

For those looking to embrace their creative side, Bowhill’s Kids’ Craft Workshops offer the perfect opportunity for younger visitors to get hands-on with festive fun. Children can unleash their imaginations making Christmas keepsakes and decorations, from baubles to dancing Santas, to take home and hang proudly on the tree. Adults are not forgotten either, with the return of Bowhill’s ever-popular Wreath Making Workshops on 9 -11 December. Using natural materials gathered from the estate, participants can craft their own beautiful wreath while enjoying a hot drink and festive treat in a relaxed, friendly setting.

Beyond the sparkle and creativity, Bowhill offers plenty of ways to make a day, or even a weekend, of it. Visitors can wander through the frosty beauty of the estate’s winter grounds, enjoy lunch in the welcoming Old Kitchen Café, catch a seasonal film in the theatre, or browse for gifts and decorations at the Restoration Yard pop-up shop. Little ones can also burn off some festive excitement in the soft play area, while families staying in Bowhill’s self-catering apartments can immerse themselves fully in the magic of the season.

With Tinsel, Toys and All the Joys, Bowhill captures the essence of Christmas -togetherness, creativity, and a touch of wonder around every corner. For more information, visit www.bowhillhouse.co.uk.
