A festive evening with Nyetimber: Dining in the Gallery

Please park in the main car park and make your way to the entrance of the House on foot. You are welcome to drop off any guests at the front of the House before parking in the main car park.

You are welcome to leave your coats in the cloakroom on arrival. You will be given a coat tag, so your coat can be found quickly at the end of the evening.

We suggest smart attire – something you would feel comfortable wearing in a stately home setting. Formal eveningwear isn’t required, but we recommend avoiding very casual clothing.

Taxis are welcome to drop off and pick up outside the front of the House. We recommend pre-booking your taxi home to ensure no delays on departure. Please direct taxis to the main entrance of Harewood House off the A61 in Harewood village.

The event will end at 10.30pm, so please make sure any pick-ups are booked to arrive prior to this time.

The event will be for a maximum of 60 people in the Gallery, which is decorated for Christmas as part of Siobhan Murphy’s installation. You will dine in the Gallery where you are joining an esteemed list of guests who have dined at Harewood including Queen Victoria, King Charles and J M W Turner.

Guests will be at mixed tables, with a maximum of 10 guests per table. We will ensure that those guests who have booked tickets as a group or contacted us to ask to be seated with other guests will be seated together wherever possible.

We are lucky enough to have an ambassador for Nyetimber, Helen MacKenzie, who will introduce each wine and support the tasting with each paired course. Siobhan Murphy, Harewood’s Creative Partner for Christmas 2025 will also join guests, and be on hand to talk to guests about the inspiration behind the Christmas installation and her vision for 2025.  Rachel Crewes, Harewood’s CEO will also be joining guests.

In addition to the fact that we are joined by Siobhan Murphy, this year is a 4 course rather than 3 course menu and guests will have the opportunity to taste the pinnacle of Nyetimber’s winemaking, 1086 by Nyetimber.

Guests will have half an hour to see Siobhan Murphy’s ‘A Glittering Invitation’ on arrival before dinner commences. This is a chance to see Christmas at Harewood away from the crowds! The only rooms on the Christmas route which will not be open to guests are the Music Room and State Dining Room, as these are needed by the chef and team to prepare your delicious menu.

The Christmas shop will be open upon arrival during the half hour reception. There will also be a further opportunity to purchase bottles of Nyetimber to take home from the Entrance Hall on departure.
