Regency Christmas

About

Step back in time with Regency Christmas at Dove Cottage. The mantlepieces are garlanded with holly and ivy, clove-studded pomanders fill the air with the scent of oranges and spices, and a warm fire is crackling in the hearth.
Immerse yourself in the cosy, festive atmosphere of this charming cottage, and imagine the Wordsworths celebrating the season together. Tours take place throughout the day, and at 3.20pm the last tour takes place by candlelight.
The festive fun doesn't end with your visit to Dove Cottage! Every day there is a different Christmas activity to enjoy, with something for all ages: from wintry sketching to poetry activities, rag rug making and Christmas gallery tours. All these experiences are free with admission.
Book festive afternoon tea in the Cafe - perfect for a seasonal gathering with friends or a special treat for yourself. Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your place early.
What better place to do your Christmas shopping than in our Museum Shop? From gift tickets to beautiful books, you'll find plenty of memorable gifts for your friends and family.
