About

Visit this special house at Christmas, see the rooms dressed for the festival season and enjoy the traditions and celebrations of a Georgian Christmas told through stories and poems throughout the house.

This immersive experience runs on a timed loop. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your ticket slot, to ensure you do not miss any of your experience.

For those seeking an enchanting evening experience, the museum’s “A Candlelit Christmas” late opening on 18 December offers the chance to explore the house after dark, illuminated by candlelight and filled with the warmth of Georgian hospitality.

We recommend that you purchase a guidebook or access the museum guide app to support your visit, available on the door when you arrive.
