Highlights

Winter at Doddington

With sparkling frosts and clear blue skies, winter can bring some magical views to Doddington. When the first snow falls, the estate is transformed into a beautiful winter wonderland.

Towards the end of October, we close our gardens, allowing them to rest and rejuvenate before returning stronger in spring. Once the gates are locked and the last pumpkin has been picked, it’s time to step into Christmas at Doddington.

In November, the Hall opens its doors for our annual Christmas event. Following a different theme each year, every room is transformed with beautiful decorations and handcrafted displays, created by our talented staff, volunteers and students from Lincoln College.

As we countdown to the big day, our Home and Clothing stores are piled high with festive wares, winter warmers and gift ideas. In the Farm Shop, you’ll leave with everything you need for Christmas dinner, along with plenty of treats that weren’t on your list.

With so much to see and do, our Christmas experience is one the whole family can enjoy. From an annual trip to the Bauble Barn to picking out your tree in the Stable Yard, a visit to Doddington is all about creating the traditions that make Christmas so special.


Thinking about
stopping by?

With so much to do at Doddington, it can be hard to fit everything into just one day. So here are a few useful things to know before you set off:

A taste of Christmas

Throughout December, festive flavours take centre stage across all our menus, as we showcase the finest seasonal produce.

In our cafés, you can enjoy traditional winter warmers, along with seasonal hot drinks. In the Grain Store restaurant, our festive menu puts a Doddington twist on a tradition.

Whether you’re joining us for a full turkey dinner or simply stopping by for a mince pie, Doddington is the ideal place to experience a true taste of Christmas.

Festive Afternoon Tea

Served from November, our Festive Afternoon Tea is always a showstopper. Handcrafted in-house, the menu features all your favourite Christmas flavours, reimagined in new and creative ways.

With an array of seasonal sandwiches and sweet surprises, all served in our beautifully decorated Tea Room, this is your chance to take a break from your to-do list and experience a little Christmas magic.

Visit the Hall before you dine for the ultimate festive day out!
