Step back in time to 1889 for a magical Victorian Christmas at Beaulieu on December 9th & 10th, then 16th - January 1st.

Join the Montagu family and servants, played by costumed actors, as they rehearse a Christmas Day pantomime, then meet the family Governess in the Library for craft activities.

For photo opportunities, dress up in period-perfect accessories and take pictures with the sleigh and wicker reindeer and life-size gingerbread house.

Head to the kitchen to talk to Lord Montagu’s cook and her kitchen maid, then listen to carol singing and festive music around the grand piano in the Lower Drawing Room.

All of the Christmas activities are included in the general admission ticket. Beaulieu is open every day except Christmas day from 10am - 5pm. On the weekends of December 9th - 10th and 16th - 17th Palace House will be open until 6pm.
