CHRISTMAS AT THE DREAMERY GARDEN
& MUSEUM
Meet father Christmas (st Nicholas) and Lady winter in their yuletide grottoes this Christmas
Our St Nicholas mirrors the Father Christmas of the past: a wandering storyteller, miracle-worker and a protector of children, bringing light, generosity, abundance and celebration to the dark months of winter. He is one of the fairy folk: the Holly King, clothed all in green and crowned in evergreens and ivy. Lady Winter, his female counterpart, is the introspective part of winter. In her grotto, experience the beauty in the barrenness of winter, which she tells us brings an opportunity to rest, to be still and to dream. She shows us the gift of silence and inner strength that can be found find in the cold and solitude winter brings.
Dress warmly, and gather in the Northwood kitchen courtyard – where there will be a fire – or in the courtyard marquee 15 minutes before the start time to allow us to guide you to Lady winter to make a wish and onto St Nicholas grotto for a short story, a very experienced story teller, aimed at the whole family.
Please be aware, if you are looking for a red Santa Claus, this isn't it! This Christmas event will be an atmospheric Christmas of stories, lanterns and imagination. (Children won't receive a toy but something more meaningful and symbolic instead- a wishing stone as well as a chocolate coin).
Very limited availability for this event in it's 6th year.
