Enjoy the festivities in Tunbridge Wells with a visit to the Christmas at Scotney Castle events. Their festive makeover of the mansion for 2025 is Cover to Cover. Each room is transformed with individual decorations inspired by much-loved books from the castle’s own collection. From the timeless whimsy of Alice in Wonderland to the nostalgia of A Christmas Carol, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, Agatha Christie mysteries, and Jane Austen favourites, enjoy this storybook-themed festive treat inside the Victorian mansion. The event also includes an outdoor trail in the gardens, where little ones have to spot cheeky elves dressed as storybook characters. They can also write a letter to Santa at the letter-writing station in the gift shop.
