Step back in time and experience the magic of Christmas in 18th and 19th century Edinburgh! 🎄 The house is typically closed to visitors in the winter, making this a rare chance to see it adorned for Christmas and illuminated by candlelight, just as its original 18th-century residents would have experienced. ❄️
In Edinburgh’s New Town, Christmas, or "Yule," was a month-long celebration bursting with lively parties, grand balls, and heartwarming family gatherings. Discover the rich blend of Celtic, Norse, and Christian traditions that made Yule truly unique, with festivities centered around the winter solstice—the longest night of the year. ❄️
Immerse yourself in the enchanting customs of the past, from decorating with lush greenery to lighting fires that brought warmth and light into the darkest nights. 🕯️
Explore tales of ancient Scottish traditions, taste the flavors of Georgian-era food and drinks, and uncover the fascinating connection between this historic house and Charles Dickens, the beloved author of A Christmas Carol. 🎄
This is a free-flow experience, so come anytime between 6:00pm and 8:00pm and let the festive spirit of Edinburgh's past sweep you away! Event concludes at 9pm. ❄️
Adults £18.00
***A SECOND DATE HAS BEEN ADDED ON THE 8TH OF DECEMBER***
