We love Christmas at Paxton House.  Our elegant Georgian house will be sparkling with tastefully decorated Christmas trees and decorations that bring festive cheer in the dark days of December. We are kicking off advent with our Christmas Cracker weekend when you are welcome to come out of the cold and explore a range of stalls selling a huge range of crafts and gifts that should provide the perfect solution for all your Christmas presents and fill your Christmas stockings. There will be lots happening over the weekend with craft activities in the Hayloft Gallery for children and live music for inspiration. Advent continues with wreath making, fun for small people with Christmas Messy Play and Boogie Beats sessions. Father Christmas is stopping off on his way around the world and adults can step back in time on a special Behind-the-Scenes tour to learn about how Christmas was celebrated at Paxton in the past. All through advent, the Stables Tearoom is laying on festive afternoon teas with some seasonal baking and Christmas drinks. You will need to book in advance for all events except the Christmas Cracker on 2/3 December when you can just turn up and buy tickets on the door. To round up our festive events, join us for our Christmas Carol Service on 22 December. Check our events calendar for details.

The Stables Tearoom is popular at the moment as visitors explore our gardens and muddy paths down by the river Tweed. We have a small pop-up shop in the Tearoom for small gifts and cards including the chance to give someone their very own Paxton Ted.  Gift tokens are a great solution for that difficult someone, they can be exchanged for visitor tickets, used in the gift shop or for afternoon teas. It’s up to you. Just call or email to choose your price.
