Christmas Comes to Drumlanrig

Friday 04 Dec

Listen for sleigh bells… and the clip-clop of hooves! On Friday 4 December, Santa is making his grand entrance at Drumlanrig on a horse and cart pulled by the magnificent Blackstone Clydesdales. It’s the start of Christmas at the Castle, and you’re invited.

Browse our ever-popular Christmas Market, then follow the twinkling lights into the Duchess’ Garden for the very first evening of the illuminated Fairy & Elf Trail.
