Our popular event returns as the Ancient High House is decorated for Christmas. Each room will be decorated accordingly for the era which it showcases, with our guides dressed in period clothing providing lots of information and showing you all about Christmas through the ages!

Come along and discover how Christmas was celebrated during the different eras that this historic building has stood to witness. Rooms will be decorated accordingly and our staff will be on hand to talk about the history of Christmas and their rooms!

There will be mince pies, mulled wine and sweets on sale so why not pop in for a refreshment! We will also have a small children’s craft activity.

No booking required, feel free to come in and have a look around, 11 to 4!

In the past the Ancient High House has been a residential home, a civil war prison, a school and home to an antique shop. So it’s not surprising that a building with such a traumatic history should have tormented souls trapped within its walls…
