Embrace the magic of Christmas at Bodiam Castle. Enjoy a winter walk with a warming hot chocolate and write a letter to Father Christmas. Hop aboard his sleigh in the castle courtyard and take your own unique Christmas photo. Discover decorated Christmas trees inside the atmospheric medieval castle and spot gifts left by a naughty elf on a festive family-friendly trail (£2 per trail, includes a small prize).
Make the most of your visit by popping into the shop for those last-minute Christmas gifts. Browse our second-hand bookshop and cosy up with a good book, or bring along your pre-loved books to donate. Every purchase and donation helps support the National Trust's conservation work.
Celebrate the festive season with friends and family by booking a warming Christmas lunch at the Wharf tea-room.*
*This event is bookable via our website.
