Enjoy a family day out at Audley End and soak up the festive atmosphere, as the house becomes a flurry of activity preparing for Christmas.
Soak up the sights and sounds in the kitchen, where you’ll find Mrs Crocombe, the Victorian cook, and her kitchen crew preparing treats such as mince pies and gingerbread ready for a Christmas feast fit for the Lord and Lady of the House.
Head to the library to join in a game of ‘Who Does What in the House’ as our performers prepare a list of Christmas gifts for the servants. Then listen to stories of Christmas cheer and festivities as our performers tell tales of Christmases past.
