Join us for a Regency Christmas and discover how the Portman family celebrated the festive season. Anne Nash is hosting this event and will advise details via our WhatsApp group chat. In the Regency era, Christmas celebrations stretched over a month, from Advent to Twelfth Night. Explore each room, revealing a different tradition of a Regency Christmas. See how Mrs Portman might have decorated the house with greenery, and imagine the season's most anticipated event: the Twelfth Night Ball. The Dining Room will be decorated for a grand Christmas Day feast, aglow with many candles.
Look forward to abundant seasonal greenery throughout the house. A magnificent garland will adorn the oak staircase, and our Christmas trees will sparkle with glass baubles and unique paper decorations crafted by Mompesson volunteers.
The tea-room and second-hand bookshop will be open as usual at Mompesson this Christmas. After exploring the house, enjoy a hot drink and a festive treat in the tea-room. Light lunches are available including warming soup, toasted sandwiches and a savoury cheese tea. Pop into the festively decorated second-hand bookshop for Christmas gifts for family and friends.
