Christmas at Erddig Hall and Garden
This Christmas, step into the magical world of The Nutcracker as Erddig Hall and Garden reimagines this festive tale. Wander through rooms and hallways turned into enchanting realms of snow, candy, flowers and forests and finish your journey at a glittering ballroom. Every corner sparkles with twinkling trees, beautiful decorations, and joyful music to fill you with festive cheer.
Outside, the gardens come alive with lights, greenery, and Christmas trees and little ones will love the ballet-themed garden trail, leaping like sugar plum fairies or pirouetting away from the sneaky Rat Army.
For extra magic, visit after dark from 15–18 December to see the lights twinkle and join in with fun family craft activities. And don’t miss the Reverse Grotto, where Father Christmas will be waiting at weekends from 29 November–21 December to say thank you for your donations to the Wrexham foodbank.
Things To Do At Erddig Hall and Garden
The much-loved 17th-century home offers much to do indoors and outdoors, too. It was built by Thomas Webb, a Cheshire mason, for Joshua Edisbury, the high sheriff of Denbighshire. Two-storey wings created a 'rooms of parade' for John Meller.
Discovery trails throughout the house will keep your kids entertained while they get to know the daily chores of a servant, from the yucky task of emptying chamber pots to exhausting 14-hour days. Today you explore a family home filled with 18th-century furniture, fine interiors and a collection of portraits and poems from the servants, which is the largest collection of servants' art. You'll discover unique and interesting wallpapers like 18th-century Chinese wallpaper and textiles, oil paintings, photographs and more.
The Garden of Erddig Hall and Garden
Then head outside to explore the 1,200-acre landscaped pleasure park and estate of beautiful meadows, ponds, meandering rivers, veteran trees and wonderful woodland! The woodland is home to many wildlife and a range of habitats. Can you find which animals you think live there? The parkland is also open and free to access, so you and the family can discover and embark on a variety of walks. Explore the beautiful parkland as a family, walk down the "cathedral aisle", and take a look from the spectacular viewpoint at the end.
During the cold winter season, you can spot pleached limes, herbaceous borders, formal hedges, fruit trees, paths, ponds and more. Like waxcap fungi, holly berries, hazelnuts and wild primroses, all in the 18th-century gardens, which are Grade I listed!
