Seasonal Sparkle at Plas Newydd, Llangollen
Plas Newydd Historic House and Gardens in Llangollen will once again be hosting their annual Christmas event on Saturday 7th December from 11:30-5pm. There are plenty of activities bringing seasonal sparkle to the grounds and a touch of Christmas magic for families to enjoy.
You can join the popular wreath making workshops which can be booked in advance online through the Plas Newydd Facebook Page or in person at the tearoom on the weekend before and on Thursday 5th or Friday 6th December. For £10 per person it offers great value as you can make a unique decoration to adorn your door or a centrepiece for your dining table.
On the day arrive early to book a free timed ticket to chat with Father Christmas in the house or look out for him later in the day as he enjoys the illuminated gardens. Tickets are allocated on a first come first served basis.
Shop with a selection of local makers at the Artisan Winter Market and support these small businesses and get in the festive spirit and enjoy music performed by talented musicians throughout the afternoon.
Visitors can explore the grounds with a new festive trail and be a “Wild Child” in the Dell woodland play area, post letters to Father Christmas at the North Pole post-box and make reindeer food and decorations.
As darkness falls, the gardens and topiary will be illuminated bringing in some seasonal sparkle and Christmas magic and there will be lots of seasonal delights and refreshments to enjoy too including, mulled wine, mince pies and roasted chestnuts.
The grounds and event are free to enter; some activities require booking or payment on the day but there are free ones too. Money raised from the event goes to support the upkeep of the house and gardens.
There will be no parking onsite during the day. We kindly ask to make use of the parking in town or to walk/cycle to our event.
