Looking for ways to celebrate the arrival of winter? With Christmas teas, cozy cocktails, artisan markets, and more, this winter can be fun for everyone when you spend it with the Trustees.
Visiting Castle Hill at Christmas is a time-honored tradition. Don’t miss this year’s elegant Roaring-Twenties-themed decorations–pearls, feathers, champagne glasses, and more. Each room in our 1920s mansion is uniquely decorated for the holidays.
Castle Hill
Take a respite from the holiday rush and take tea in the Great House at Castle Hill. Enjoy teas, savories, and sweets with friends or family. You’ll be served by costumed staff as if the Crane family were here in 1929. After tea, tour the Great House, festively decorated for the holidays. Tables seat 4 people. Masks are required except while seated at your tea table.
