Christmas at Holkham & Festive Food Fair 2024

Celebrate the magic of Christmas at Holkham from the 29th November 2024 until the end of December with a Candlelight Tour of the Hall and Christmas Fair. See each stateroom beautifully adorned with sweet-scented pine trees, greenery, sparkling decorations, and twinkling lights. Each room will have its own theme and your guide will tell you all about the inspiration behind each magical setting.

Have they been naughty or nice? Treat the children to our sell-out event, An Audience with Father Christmas, where they will meet our singing band of Ukulele Elves before sitting down for stories and surprises with Father and Mother Christmas. There is also Carols in the Courtyard, an opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit. December 12th 5pm-6pm. Refreshments and mulled wine available to purchase.

Holkham Hall opens its doors to a variety of spectacular seasonal celebrations. Visitors will leave the coldness of winter at the door as they enter the magic that is Christmas at Holkham. From November to December, the privately owned 25,000 acre estate will be hosting an array of festive events against the sumptuous backdrop of the historical state rooms, beautifully adorned with decorations which can be admired by twinkling candlelight, as well as offering indulgent locally-sourced treats and gifts for all the family, making it the perfect setting for a festive winter getaway.

There is also the annual Holkham Festive Food Drink and Gift Market

Opening times

Friday 13th December: 12noon-7pm
Saturday 14th December: 10am-4pm
Sunday 15th December: 10am-4pm

The fair showcases the best of local and regional food and drink, and a live cookery theatre will feature demonstrations from renowned local chefs. The Holkham Christmas Food fair also features numerous stalls with great gift ideas from local producers.

In 2021 Chanel 4 took a magical look at how the team at Holkham Hall prepare for Christmas 2021, from sweet-scented pine trees, sparkling decorations and twinkling lights to a stunning candlelight experience. You can see the Channel 4 programme here Christmas at Holkham 23 December 2021
