Success for Sewerby's Winter Woodland
Sewerby Winter Woodland takes visitors on a magical outdoor journey of sounds and lights
Last updated 8th Dec 2021
12,000 tickets have gone for The Sewerby Winter Woodland event at Sewerby Hall and Gardens.
The house has now been decorated in all its festive glory, and features the return of the popular exhibition, The Making of Christmas, exploring how the Victorians adopted some ancient customs and grafted on some of their own to create what is now our idea of the perfect Christmas Being held for the first time after having to be postponed last year, visitors will discover that The Snow Queen has cast a spell on the beautiful woodland, which has come alive with light and sounds. Joining the Sewerby polar explorer on his expedition, visitors will travel through an illuminated tunnel into the winter woods, and embark on their quest into the Snow Queen's domain.
As they journey deeper into the woodland, visitors will have the opportunity to make some winter magic of their own – taking part in activities such as wand making with Moonlight, the enchanted moth; learning spells; and even meeting the Snow Queen herself, before enjoying the grand finale of a superb lighting display set to music!
The grounds and the cafe will close each day at 3.30pm during the Sewerby Winter Woodland events from 3-23 December. The grounds will also be closed in the evenings to the general public during the Sewerby Winter Woodland events.
The house itself will be filled with Christmas decorations and trees, and the lighting in the house will add a magical feel.
Visitors will also be able to sample local craft stalls, a bar, and vintage fairground rides.
Sewerby Winter Woodland will run from Friday, 3 December to Thursday, 23 December.
