Harewood is one of the Treasure Houses of England, set in the heart of rural Yorkshire. With rolling ‘Capability’ Brown landscapes, an impressive art collection including works by JMW Turner & El Greco, renaissance masterpieces, exquisite Thomas Chippendale furniture and fabulous Robert Adam interiors, all combined with 100 acres of award-winning Gardens and a renowned lakeside Bird Garden, Harewood really does offer something for every group.
Christmas 2021
Christmas is an exciting time at Harewood and this year will be no different. In the House, this year visitors will experience Upon A Christmas Wish created by connoisseurs of make-believe Lord Whitney. Never predictable or ordinary, join us in escaping into an immersive Christmas story across the State Floor and Below Stairs. Walk through beautifully decorated festive rooms, guided by the House itself, as it shares its favourite memory of when a little girl was granted a festive wish to experience a Christmas like no other. With theatrical Christmas sets, starlit rooms, shadows dancing on the walls, moving set-pieces, poetic narration and a cinematic soundtrack, this Christmas at Harewood is not to be missed
