Raby Castle is the most magical place to visit this Christmas. From the smell of freshly cut Christmas trees, to Christmas shopping till your heart content and of course The Plotters’ Forest Enchanted Christmas Trail.
Starting from the November 18, families can embark on a festive journey through The Plotters’ Forest and create cherished memories this Christmas. Immerse yourself in the magic of our Enchanted Christmas Trail, where twinkling lights and festive music guide your path through a captivating winter wonderland and follow the Christmas trail and collect all the clues.
As the sun sets and the night sky emerges, watch in awe as the trail comes to life under the blanket of darkness, each corner illuminated with a warm and inviting glow. There is the option for both day and evening tickets available. An all-day ticket includes access into the magnificent deer park surrounding the castle for another children’s Christmas trail.
Raby Christmas Trees will be available to purchase from the November 25. From Nordman Fir to Norway Spruce, there will be plenty to choose from.
Shoppers will have extra opportunities to find the perfect Christmas present at Raby’s Christmas market, taking place on Saturday, December 2 and Sunday, December 3, featuring unique gifts and delicious treats from local suppliers.
Shoppers can also explore the castle grounds while enjoying the sights, sounds, and flavours of the season.Alongside Raby’s festivities, the Estate’s High Force Waterfall will be introducing a festive woodland trail from November 25 to December 31, which will be included in the admission price. Christmas clues await to be discovered on the scenic wintery walk before relaxing with a hot drink or a hearty meal in front of the fire at High Force Hotel.
A Christmas escape awaits at the rural retreat with High Force Hotel’s magical Christmas stays from Christmas Eve until Wednesday, December 27 – featuring three nights of delicious food, a spectacular Christmas lunch and a magical outing on Boxing Day.
The hotel – which will be open throughout December for pre-Christmas stays – will be introducing a festive menu, perfect for a catch up with friends or colleagues, and is also open on Christmas Day so the family cook can hang up their apron and not worry about the stress of Christmas lunch.
