An all-new spectacular display of lights, sounds and special effects will bring the grounds to life for a great evening out this festive season. Tickets are on sale now! Full info and booking.
After sell-out events in 2021 and 2022, this year’s Sewerby Winter Woodland will include a new route and a new theme – a chance to embark on a Magical Christmas Rescue, along with a host of cheerful festive characters.
The mischievous elves accidentally dropped a sack of presents while flying over Sewerby Hall and Gardens and visitors’ assistance is urgently needed to locate and recover them. The Fairy atop the Christmas tree has bestowed her wondrous magic upon the woods, illuminating them with a captivating display of colours, glitters, and twinkles.
Visitors will meet the festive characters on a journey through the Winter Woodland to save Christmas:
A new exhibition will add to the magic of Christmas – ‘The Nutcracker’, set on Christmas Eve many years ago, where toys come to life and take the children on an unforgettable adventure. It also explores the Nutcracker’s place in popular culture since the story’s publication in 1816. To compliment the exhibition, there will also be the Nutcracker trail and festive activities around the house.
Food and drinks will be available from the Clock Tower Café, Stables Pizza Company, and Love Hog Roast. The courtyard marquee will house a licenced bar, from Louisiana Bars. As a new addition for 2023, there will also be a chance for visitors to browse craft stalls from local vendors, which will have wonderful trinkets available for purchase. Refreshments will be available to purchase along the route as well as enjoying toasted marshmallows at an additional charge.
There will be six admission sessions each evening. Admission times will be between: 4.30pm-5pm; 5pm-5.30pm; 5.30pm-6pm; 6pm-6.30pm; 6.30pm-6.50pm 6.50pm-7.15pm.
Relaxed performances will be held on Sunday, 10 December at 4.30pm and 5pm, with the full experience recommencing from 5.30pm. Relaxed performances will feature reduced volume, no haze or smoke machines, and the characters in the woodland will be aware of sensory needs.
Tickets must be bought online in advance; they will not be available on the door. For full details, and to book tickets visit www.sewerbyhall.co.uk
