A Night before Christmas
Step into the magic of Christmas at A Night before Christmas at The Rural Life Living Museum, where our beautiful museum comes alive with festive sparkle and seasonal charm.
Surrounded by beautifully decorated historic buildings, wander through a winter wonderland filled with twinkling lights, Christmas cheer and the warmth of the season.
Enjoy live music, indulge in delicious mince pies and mulled wine, and gather around the campfire to toast marshmallows with friends and family.
The Old Kiln Light Railway will also be running, so enjoy a train ride around the museum and see the site from a different angle at night.
Come and soak up the magic, make memories and celebrate Christmas in a truly unique setting.
The Night before Christmas - where history meets the magic of Christmas.
