Step inside a Victorian family home for some Christmas cheer this festive season. Share some family time together and visit to enjoy a Christmas tree and traditional decorations in Manchester’s very own literary house. The kids can enjoy some Christmas creative craft in the Servants’ Hall making tree decorations. There is dressing-up, colouring, hands-on activities and our popular Cranford the Cat trail around this magnificent historic family home. You could always treat everyone to a hot chocolate and mince pie (or cake) in their famous Tea Room too!
Family craft activities are included in admission and kids go free with a paying adult. Your ticket includes 12 month entry so banish boredom and visit as many times as you like!
The craft activity is available 11am – 4pm (last entry 3pm) on open days between Sunday 1st December – Sunday 15th December*. Adults are £8.50 per person and under 16s are free with a paying adult. Booking is advised as it helps us make sure you have the best time possible – or just turn up and pay on the door.
