‘Twas the night before Christmas… This winter come along to atmospheric Barley Hall

for a unique festive experience exploring the history and

traditions of Christmas; tucked away in a courtyard off

Stonegate right in the centre of the City, this hidden gem

medieval townhouse steeped in history will be decorated for

the season and offering a cosy tavern serving steaming mugs

of mulled wine along with real ales and juices by candlelight.

With a seasonal reimagining of the Hamlet to Hollywood

exhibition featuring pantomime costumes from the fabulous

Berwick Kaler and the opportunity for children to meet

Father Christmas and get a lovely gift to put under the tree,

Barley Hall has something to offer everyone this December.
