From Friday 15 November to Sunday 5 January, get your friends and family in the festive spirit with the spellbinding sequel to 2019’s award-winning Night at the Mansion, winter walks in beautifully decorated grounds, and food, drink and shopping to fill you with Yuletide cheer.
In Mischief at the Mansion, a troop of not-so-angelic cherubs have escaped from the Christmas tree and Harewood House sparkles into life with singing baubles, swirling ceilings and gossiping statues. Marvel as the House tells you festive tales of bygone times, in an unforgettable experience that will delight visitors of all ages, by internationally-acclaimed mixed reality artists Davy and Kristin McGuire.
“Just such a truly magical experience! I’d highly recommend this as fabulous festive memory making medicine for all!!! Just so inspiring and uplifting!!!”
“Been today for the 5th time! At each visit I still find something I missed. Absolutely magical!”
“It was FANTASTIC! Thank you so much. We had a great time and we all agreed it was the best one yet!” VisitLeeds
Then across Harewood, discover locally-sourced festive fare and curated independent gifts, all enjoyed in hundreds of acres of festoon-lit grounds. We know this is a Christmas you’ll be talking about for years.
