Follow the Yellow Brick Road to a Magical Christmas at Hever Castle

21 November 2025 – 2 January 2026

This Christmas, step into a storybook world as Hever Castle & Gardens transforms into the Land of Oz. From sparkling lights to roaring log fires, festive rides to Father Christmas himself, discover a celebration filled with wonder for all ages.

A Christmas Adventure Like No Other
Begin your journey in Dorothy’s Kansas farmhouse before being whisked away to the colourful world of Oz. Walk the famous yellow brick road, meet the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, and marvel as the historic castle glows emerald green at dusk. Keep your eyes peeled — the Wicked Witch may make an appearance! (Character meet-and-greets on selected dates.)

Festive Fun for All the Family
On the castle forecourt, enjoy nostalgic fairground rides including The Octopus, a carousel, and the big wheel. As evening falls, the gardens come alive with dazzling illuminations, bathing Hever’s landmarks in festive light.

Inside the Castle
Step into lavishly decorated rooms filled with twinkling trees, Tudor traditions, and the warmth of roaring log fires. Highlights include a Tudor Christmas in the Boleyn Apartment, offering the perfect blend of history and holiday magic.

Meet Father Christmas
Children will love their magical journey to Santa’s cosy log cabin. Greeted by Mother Christmas, families will wander through the post office, workshop, and elf-filled paths before meeting Father Christmas himself — and receiving a special gift. (Pre-booking required, selected dates only.)

Seasonal Treats & Shopping
Warm up with festive food and drink at the cafés and kiosks, browse the charming gift shops, and explore the Miniature Model Houses, Yew Maze, Play Areas, and Military Museum during the day.
