- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 18 Dec, 2025 at 11:00 am – Thu, 18 Dec, 2025 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Manchester's historic literary attraction Elizabeth Gaskell's House is hosting a very Victorian Christmas for the first time this festive season.

The former residence of the famous novelist Elizabeth Gaskell will be getting into the holiday spirit this November, offering visitors the chance to explore the unique and fascinating festive traditions of an era that forever changed the face of Christmas, transforming it into the rich celebration we know today.

The Grade-II listed building will be decked out in style, with candles and holly adorning the fireplaces and wooden toys lying beneath the twinkling tree. Learn about how the Victorians celebrated Yuletide with spellbinding ghost stories around the fire, try your hand at popular parlour games, and feast your eyes on the House's impressive dining table, which will be set for Christmas dinner, alongside a traditional recipe book highlighting the dishes of the day. 

A series of quirky, original Victorian Christmas cards from the Laura Seddon Collection of Christmas cards, on loan from Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collection Museum, will also be on display.

Activities will include a Christmas puzzle trail for children and an interactive craft station where visitors of all ages can create their own cards and decorations. Weekdays will also feature festive music and themed readings. And of course, the Tea Room will be serving up plenty of hot chocolate and mince pies.

Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 11am-4.30pm (last entry 3pm)

Pre- booking essential.
