Haddon's Renaissance Christmas
At Haddon Hall, Christmas will be themed by one of England\'s most prominent historic eras - the Renaissance. Dramatic changes in art, literature and music all influenced the late 15th to early 17th centuries, and this in turn will influence Christmas around the hall. The ancient rooms at Haddon Hall will be dressed with swags, firs and natural decorations in keeping with the hall’s beautiful medieval architecture, and the great fires will be roaring - conjuring up a truly atmospheric setting to experience Christmas past and present. Visit the hall from Thursday 1st December to Sunday 18th December to experience a Renaissance Christmas, with candlelight tours taking place on 7th, 8th, 9th, 12th & 13th December. > find out more Enjoy a magical Christmas this year with a trip to Derbyshire.
