Get away from it all at Christmas at Gibside – we all love a walk in the countryside, but this event is a gorgeously traditional celebration of the Christmas season and a lovely way to experience the stunning eighteenth-century house and gardens.

Find and follow the trail of sparkling stars up to Gibside Stables to see where Father Christmas is keeping his reindeer, and take a look around their stalls and listen to a magical reindeer story. You’ll also see Father Chrismtas’ sleigh!

Join the woodland fairy trail and follow the activity sheet to find toadstool seats and miniature pixie homes.

For the ultimate Christmas treat, join Father Christmas working at the Stables! This immersive experience incorporates theatre and craft – listen to festive tales, take photographs together and learn what’s on the to-do list for Father Christmas before the big day arrives.
