Christmas at Calke Abbey

Make magical memories at Calke Abbey this Christmas. Family favourites are back this year with a special twist, making it the perfect place to celebrate the festive season.

As darkness settles, see Calke lit up in festive lights around the Stableyards, Pleasure Grounds and St Giles Church. You won’t want to miss the dreamy Christmas Eve installation in the Pleasure Grounds, inspired by Calke’s state bed in the House.

Visit the Stableyards for more family fun – have a go on the carousel, play in the shadow puppet theatre and then grab something warming from the refreshment pod. Step through the west door and discover the icy tunnels or go on a family adventure on the ’12 Days of Christmas’ trail.

Head to the Christmas markets in the Riding School for last minute gifts and treat yourself to a mince pie. For those seeking an exclusive Christmas experience, book onto magical mornings with Mrs Claus or a festive afternoon tea and enjoy an early Christmas treat while making memories with loved ones.

Christmas at Calke is open every Saturday and Sunday in December until Saturday 23 December. Calke is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
