8th November 2025 - 31st December 2025

Immerse yourself in a truly mesmerising experience as you journey through ‘A Fairytale Christmas’ at Doddington Hall. From fables to folklore, step into a land of magical fairytales as the displays unfold over three floors of the Elizabethan Hall, with a Doddington twist of course!

It’s an opportunity to soak up the seasonal atmosphere of Christmas in a treasured family home, which has seen a lot of Christmas mornings over its four hundred year plus history.

A chance to see what the present day family and staff have created and to think about how Christmas may have looked and felt through the centuries. Spectacular scenes have been created by Doddington staff, volunteers, local artists and students from Lincoln College.

Spend the day at Doddington Hall

Indulge in a wonderfully festive Afternoon Tea in the Doddington Tea Room (booking essential) and enjoy a spot of retail therapy or gift shopping in the shops. Don’t forget a visit to the Bauble Barn, bursting with something for every taste, from traditional to naturals, there’s something to complement every home.

A visit to Doddington Hall to choose a freshly-cut homegrown tree is part of many families’ seasonal calendar. From 22 November, the Stable Yard will again be full of trees with plenty of shapes and sizes to choose from.
