CHRISTMAS AT HEVER CASTLE 2022

This Christmas at Hever Castle, spend quality time with loved ones and enjoy a seasonal experience to remember.

The magical Christmas Lights experience starts from 16:00 when you can wrap up warm and enjoy a walk under the stars to explore the grounds. Witness the enchantment of the Castle, gardens and lake festooned with fabulous colours and twinkling lights, capturing the spirit of Christmas.

Bring torches and pop on your wellies to see Hever Castle’s much-loved gardens lit up with glorious colour washes, spectacular illuminations and music.

Wander further afield for a trip into ‘space’ where the bright moon shines and illuminated planets fill the evening skies.

Explore the ‘Festive Forest’ with Red the squirrel and meet his joyful woodland friends as Red receives thoughtful seasonal gifts along the charming Christmas Trail and discovers the true meaning of Christmas.

As well as exploring the captivating handcrafted bespoke displays on the Christmas Trail, meet characters from the ‘Festive Forest’ as you wander through the beautiful grounds (weekends from the 19 Nov – 4 Dec and daily from the 7 – 24 Dec and 27 Dec – 2 Jan).

In the Castle you will be met with beautiful traditionally decorated rooms, welcoming log fires and twinkling Christmas trees.

In front of the Castle, ride the gallopers then head to the big wheel and have a go at hook a duck (additional charges apply).
