Christmas

December

In December, visit the American Museum & Gardens for a festive, hand-crafted, day out.

Be enchanted by the Georgian Manor House, festooned with a stunning 18-foot fir tree, decorated trees in our historical rooms and artisan decorations, lovingly handmade by our creative volunteers this year.

Explore the fresh winter gardens and woodland walk.

Be inspired at the Unforgettable Behaviour exhibition, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year show, with lots of interactive activities for families.

Enjoy festive food and drinks at the American Garden Deli.

Get creative at a sustainable wreath workshop or macrame wreath workshop.

Relax with family Christmas crafts and colouring in the Stables at weekends and during the school holidays.

Find beautiful gifts in the Gallery Shop.

Normal admission applies, plus an additional fee if you would like to book a workshop or event.
