Experience the magic of a festive family day out in York when you visit Castle Howard this Christmas
Enjoy a Christmas day out like no other at Castle Howard! Tinker Bell has sprinkled fairy dust all over the House and transformed Castle Howard into a beautiful winter wonderland.
The main House will be transformed into a Peter Pan-themed odyssey, with beautiful decorations, installations, and projections. Fly into the adventure of a lifetime bursting with fairies, mermaids, and pirates. Vast ships will cruise into Castle Howard’s great galleries, Lost Boy-laughter will echo through its halls, and its beautiful rooms will transform into tropical lagoons.
Follow the boy that never grew up into a fantastical festive world that will re-ignite your belief in fairies and leave your heart full.
Christmas in Neverland takes place from 11th of November 2023 up to the 7th of January 2024.
Please note: This ticket is for admission only, and does not include meeting Father Christmas.

We recommend 40 minutes to enjoy the whole experience at a steady pace. Some visitors move more quickly, others more slowly.
There is limited seating available, and there isn’t seating in every room. There are some places where visitors can temporarily rest, but there is no guarantee of this at the busiest times.
Level access to Christmas in Neverland is via the Christmas Marquee. The Marquee entrance is equipped with two sets of double doors – please note that these doors are not automatic and open outwards. Please ask a member of staff in the Gift Shop for level access assistance through to the visitor route.
Wheelchair users (under 225kg including visitor and equipment) can use the House stair lift which takes visitors to the main floor of the House, operated by Castle Howard staff. Electric wheelchair/scooter users will need to transfer into a manual wheelchair to use the House stair lift, and there are plenty of manual wheelchairs which can be borrowed if required.
Access to the Chapel is restricted, information on these areas is available to view in portfolios from within the House – please ask a volunteer or Visitor Assistant.
Photography is welcome in the House. Please keep your flash turned off and do not use a tripod or a selfie stick. Professional photography of any kind needs to be arranged and agreed in advance.
