Festive happenings at Tattershall Castle

As the visit of Santa draws closer and we begin to ponder if it is too late to turn our year around get back onto the good list, we find ourselves with only two more “Castle days” before Christmas. This weekend will be your last chance to come and visit Santa at Tattershall Castle and stock up on festive gifts for friends and family; National Trust Monopoly? Tattershall Castle keyring? Fudge? There is something for everybody.

As the snow falls on the Castle it gives us time to reflect on recent weeks and take stock of the marvellous fun we had at our series of carol concerts. As detailed in previous blogs, we have played host to The Salvation Army Band and the Banovallum Singers over the last two weekends. All three evenings were well attended and a merry time was had by all.

Below is a series of images showing off the Castle and the nearby Holy Trinity Church in all their seasonal loveliness.

Christmas at Tattershall Castle

Tattershall Castle will once again be offering a range of festive activities this Christmas season.

Tickets cost £6 for adults, £3 for children; children under 5 are free. Family tickets cost £15 and cover admission for two adults and three children.

The Banovallum Singers join us for two concerts on the evenings of Friday 11th and Saturday 12th of December. The Banovallum Choir will lead a chorus of carols on the ground floor of the Castle, starting each evening at 7.30pm. Admission includes mince pie and a glass of wine or a soft drink. Tickets for the Banovallum concert costs £7.50.

Each weekend in December Santa’s Grotto will be running in the corner of the parlour room, which will be decorated by our large Christmas tree. In addition to Santa’s Grotto, we will be running a series of festive arts and crafts events for Children visitors. Extra charges apply for arts and crafts events, Santa’s Grotto with presents costs £3. Normal Castle admission charges apply.
