Christmas at Harewood– Unlock the Magic
10th August 2019
It’s after-hours, the doors are closed and it’s the moment when Harewood House really comes alive. The statues are singing, the paintings are gossiping and there’s hustle and bustle both above and below stairs, with the anticipation of an important guest in the run up to Christmas.
Created by acclaimed British artistic duo, Davy & Kristin McGuire from Studio McGuire, for six weeks from Saturday 23 November, open the doors, look under the stairs, listen out for the chatter and follow the music, as Yorkshire’s most exciting country house presents its interpretation of Christmas, with workshops, festive-themed music, events, Christmas market weekends, cooking demonstrations and an encounter with Father and Mrs Christmas.

Comments Jane Marriott, Director, Harewood House Trust,
“We’re particularly delighted to be working with Yorkshire-based artistic duo Davy and Kristin McGuire, who created a phenomenal piece for Hull UK City of Culture. It’s really exciting to announce our plans for Christmas 2019, as we continue our vision to work with some of the most vibrant and unexpected studios and artistic partnerships in the UK.
“Expect a discovery of new locations at Harewood, with some intriguing stories and tales, as the House plans for a visit this Christmas.”
