From the first notes of Regency music to the vibrant glow of Christmas trees, anticipation fills the air as guests arrive for the evening’s festivities. Wander through rooms alive with colour, pattern and festive decadence, as Harewood’s Grand Christmas Ball whirls into full swing.

Slip away for a cosy tea by the fire, where mantelpieces are dressed with china cups, saucers and ginger jars. Discover games and a whisky lounge, quiet moments of reflection, and listen in as the Lady of the House writes tales of the evening’s gossip in her diary.

Below Stairs, step into the Servants’ Hall to uncover their own secret celebration; a lively, behind-the-scenes world of festive cheer. End the evening with a surprise that quite literally goes out with a bang.
