Powderham Castle is set to become the ultimate festive destination this holiday season, welcoming visitors to an enchanting Christmas experience from November 25 to December 31.

The historic castle, nestled in stunning grounds, will be transformed into a sparkling wonderland, promising magical memories for families, friends, and loved ones. 

At the heart of the festivities is the ‘Spectacular Light Walk’, where every step reveals dazzling displays of twinkling lights and beautifully adorned scenery. From glowing pathways to vibrant decorations, the light walk is a journey through a storybook Christmas scene that is sure to delight visitors of all ages. The castle itself will be illuminated in festive brilliance, creating the perfect backdrop for this winter celebration. 

For the little ones, the magic continues in Santa’s Grotto. Hidden within the grounds, children will have the chance to meet Father Christmas himself, where he’ll be spreading cheer and handing out special gifts.

Adding to the festivities is Powderham Castle’s delightful ‘Festive Afternoon Tea’, served in the elegant surroundings of the castle’s Music Room. Guests can enjoy a selection of seasonal treats, paired with a glass of bubbles, a refreshing gin and tonic, or a non-alcoholic beverage. With the room beautifully decorated for the season, it’s the perfect setting for a touch of indulgence and relaxation.

This magical experience is designed to bring everyone together, including the youngest members of the family, with free admission for children under three. Carers and membership holders can also enjoy free entry, while four-legged friends are welcome to join in the fun, ensuring no one is left out of the celebrations. 

Tickets for this unique event are priced at £14.95 for adults and £8.95 for children. Santa’s Grotto and the Festive Afternoon Tea are available to book separately, with specific dates and times offered for each. 

Whether you’re exploring the glowing grounds, enjoying a festive treat in the castle’s historic halls, or watching the joy on children’s faces as they meet Santa, Powderham Castle’s Christmas experience is the perfect way to embrace the magic of the season.
