Welcome to Christmas at Highclere 2026 

 “I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow."

Although Highclere cannot promise snow, we look forward to welcoming guests for a variety of tours, teas, carols, and book talks this festive season.

This year we are excited to share our Scandinavian theme to celebrate the opening of our Viking Pavilion. We hope you all enjoy your refreshments in our new space while taking in the beautiful view of the Castle.

Our Highclere Christmas elves are working hard on the theme, for now we hope you enjoy pictures of Christmases past on our ticket pages.

"When it seems the magic slipped away, we find it all again on Christmas Day."
