Charity Christmas Chronicles at Yarhampton House

We welcome you to historic Yarhampton House this festive season for a once only exclusive Christmas experience that adults and children will equally enjoy.

We are raising funds for the special local children's charity Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust.

You will be greeted by our Christmas fairies and ballerinas and the children will be shown in to see Father Christmas.  Whilst in the orangery Classical Christmas Cocktails and Canapes will be served for parents and caregivers.  Relax into the festive spirit with our wonderful resident classical harpist whilst enjoying our all that glitters Christmas cocktail or mocktail or warm yourself by the open fire and enjoy the gardens with a locally-sourced mulled wine, mulled cider or festive hot chocolate and seasonal treats. 

When the children are nestled on the carpet in front of the the fireplace, story time with Santa will begin!  He will take them on a wonderous storytelling journey and they will have the opportunity to ask him as many questions as they like.  The Christmas fairies and ballerinas will then provide the children with refreshments.  The professional photographer will then capture this wonderful moment as Father Christmas surprises each child with a handmade gift by the fireside.  You will receive the photograph as a special memory of the day. 

We look forward to welcoming you to this exclusive limited edition event at Yarhampton House and supporting this wonderful local charity.

Tickets are limited to small numbers in each session and this experience is only occurring once this Christmas so please complete the booking form and pay as soon as possible to avoid disappointment ensuring you select one of the four available time slots which bests suits you and your group.

So that parents and caregivers can enjoy their Classical Christmas experience too, we advise that before travelling to the event children go to the toilet, eat and drink their main meal before the experience and that a time is booked where they would not normally be sleeping if they usually have a nap.

Our professional photographer will be taking images of your child with Santa so you may wish to dress them in their favourite Christmas or party outfit for the photos.
