Our Sensory Map is designed to help you feel more comfortable and confident during your visit to Harewood this Christmas. It visually highlights what you can expect around the House, including lighting levels, sounds, busy areas, and possible smells.
In collaboration with Siobhan Murphy
This year, interior designer Siobhan Murphy (TV’s Interior Design Masters and Interior Curve) transforms Harewood with her signature maximalism, bold patterns and joyous colour. A reimagining of Regency splendour for 2025, it’s Christmas with a sense of theatre and wonder. A season to ignite the imagination and delight every generation.
Free Miniature Adventure for Families
As well as exuberant decor, Siobhan is working with nine miniaturist specialists, to recreate a mini version of Christmas at Harewood with pieces featured throughout the House. Among the artists are Michael Robbins, a Yorkshire-based miniaturist whose work has been exhibited internationally and featured on Channel 4’s Great Big Tiny Design Challenge, and Arabella Duffy, a remarkable talent who, at just thirteen years old, is already making waves in the miniature art world.
Each intricately designed piece will be part of a free trail for children to follow, encouraging them to spot and tick off every miniature they discover. This whimsical adventure invites families to slow down, observe the details, and immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas.
Christmas at Harewood for us is a family tradition, magical from the moment you drive up the lit drive to meeting the main man himself. Taking a family photo on the terrace under the Christmas tree is a new family tradition we now look forward to every year."

Wheelchair Access to Christmas at Harewood
The State Floor is accessed via a set of steps only.
The main entrance wheelchair lift is currently out of service for repairs. The required replacement part is being manufactured in Austria and is not expected to be installed until the end of January 2026. In essential cases, we have an alternative lift available for manual wheelchair users to access the State Floor.
Should you require use of this lift, please make yourself known to the Harewood team on arrival and they will assist you.
Please note: this lift is small and is not able to take mobility scooters or mechanised wheelchairs due to its weight limit. Due to the age and nature of the lift, only the wheelchair user and one member of Harewood’s team can use this lift at a time.
This lift is not suitable for individuals who are not comfortable with small spaces or vulnerable individuals. Staff have the right to refuse the use of this lift.
We appreciate that this solution is not right for everyone and apologise for the inconvenience caused whilst we await the installation of the main entrance stair lift.
We have some manual wheelchairs available to use during your visit to the House, should you wish to transfer from your mobility scooter or mechanised wheelchair to a manual wheelchair so you can visit the House.
If you are unable to transfer to a manual wheelchair, and therefore unable to visit the House, please make yourself known to our reception team on arrival so we can provide 50% discount on tickets.
Please note: Due to fire evacuation policies we are only allowed a certain number of wheelchairs on the state floor at one time.
Thank you in advance for your patience whilst we get our normal wheelchair list operating again.
Car Parking at Harewood this Christmas
During our Christmas period, a car parking pass is required in addition to your ticket.
Please note that only one parking pass is needed per vehicle, not per person.
Harewood Members, Blue Badge holders and Access+ ticket holders do not need to pre book car parking for Christmas.
