November 26, 2021 – January 2, 2022 and we’re offering you the chance to win a family ticket, worth £66, to the opening night of Christmas at Gibside on November, 26 2021.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year when twinkling lights and seasonal sounds fill the air with festive fun. Wrap up warm and be transported into a winter wonderland where you will discover sparkling tunnels of light, walk under giant baubles and beneath trees drenched in jewel-like colour.

Independent street food vendors will also be on site offering festive treats and you’ll be able to have yourself a holly, jolly Christmas and complete your walk under the stars with a spiced winter warmer or hot chocolate.

Set in a rural area of Gateshead, near Rowlands Gill, Gibside is a tranquil 18th century landscaped garden created by one of the richest men in Georgian England, George Bowes.

Cared for by the National Trust, it provides a rare example of an 18th-century landscape garden and was created with spectacular views in mind. The vision of coal magnate George Bowes and once a pleasure ground for the Georgian elite, this 243-hectare (600-acre) estate is now a popular spot for walks.

Christmas at Gibside will be open on selected dates between November 26, 2021 – January 2, 2022

For information and to book tickets visit: nationaltrust.org.uk/Gibside. Tickets are priced from £13 for children and £18 for adults for both National Trust members and non-members. Note, the event is an additional price to National Trust membership.
