Harewood House launches unique time-travelling Christmas event

Thursday, 16 November 2023 08:00

Harewood House has officially opened its 'time travelling Christmas' - an immersive and slightly wild festive experience for all of the family.

Harewood House launches unique time-travelling Christmas event Harewood House has launched its ‘Great Time Travelling Christmas’, taking visitors on a trip down memory lane this festive season. The historic stately home, which is just a short drive from Harrogate, are hosting the weird and wonderful event designed to evoke the nostalgia of Christmas past. ‘Harewood’s Great Time Travelling Christmas’ is an immersive experience that will take visitors through time and space on a slightly wonky time machine. The event running throughout the house showcases Christmas past, pop culture and Christmas future through a series of sounds, games and displays. It's open now until 7th January 2024.

Graham, the Director of Studio Mutt, said:

“We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about those memorable and nostalgic things that sum up our Christmases past, and it’s not what you’d initially expect. “It’s the little things, like your Gran’s decorations, the 90s Christmas disco, or sneaking in a drink while your parents weren’t looking. “We’ve also looked forward and imagined the Christmases of our near future, where lab grown turkeys and hydroponic sprouts are on our table at dinner time. “We’re really hoping that it will bring a smile to people’s faces and to bring back memories for people.”
