From the fiery dawn of humanity to the fairy lights of today’s family Christmas, people have seen midwinter as a special time. Legendary characters populate this enchanting world.

Meet the mischievous Lord of Misrule as he ventures through time to reveal The Holly King, the first St Nicholas, Krampus – and more. And just who were the winterland women – Frau Holda and Le Befana?

When they made their lists – and checked them twice – what was in store for who was naughty or nice? You’ll be amazed!

Come with us on a festive journey through myth and mystery –
to unearth the origins of Midwinter Magic.

It is the Year of Our Lord 1655. A land ruled by fear. Plague strikes at random. The cause – a mystery. Witchcraft lurks in the wild heathen woods of Puritan England. The blame must be theirs!

England recruits a cruel Champion. Step forward The Witchfinder – a hate-driven hammer to crush witchcraft in the name of all that’s holy.. As dark and dreadful as any demon. Feared by the guilty and innocent alike. Evil is recruited to combat Evil.

Through torture, torment and trials he forces confessions from the Crones, Curse-mongers and Cunning Women of the parishes.

Immerse yourself in this Wicked Land, as you are plunged into the dark days of old England and pursued through the woods by the daemonic entities.

A 45-minute theatrical horror experience like no other before it, and an epic adventure that will chill you to the bone!

Join Alice on her exciting journey through Easter In Wonderland. It’s a magical adventure with activities for all the family – including our specially produced Mad Hatter’s Circus Show – all set in the enchanting grounds of wonderful Whatton House.

“I fancied things like fairy tales never happened. Now I’m in the middle of one!” said Alice.

The Christmas Courtyard will be the gathering point, marking the start and finish for your guided garden walk. You will be taken on an adventure through the beautiful gardens at Whatton House, meeting an array of characters amid wonderful scenery. A unique experience mixing theatrical performances with a magical walk through a stunning location. The attraction is suitable for families including accompanied children aged four and over.
