Christmas Dinner at Blickling Hall, Norfolk

The estate is a treasure trove of romantic buildings, beautiful and extensive gardens and landscaped park. From herbaceous formal gardens to the stunning parterre and woodland wilderness, there is something for everyone at any time of the year.

A 3-course Christmas Dinner will be served in the Hobart Restaurant at 12pm. Visitors will have access to gardens, shop & bookshop.
