Bramham Park enters new chapter with expanded events programme and Christmas market
Bramham Park is entering a new chapter as the historic estate expands its public events programme, offering visitors more opportunities to enjoy the grounds.
Best known as the long-standing home of Leeds Festival and the Bramham Park International Horse Trials, the estate is introducing its first Christmas artisan market and tours of the historic house.
The inaugural Bramham Park Christmas Artisan Market takes place on Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15.
More than 100 artisan traders will gather against the backdrop of Bramham Park house, selling a range of gifts, decorations and other products ahead of Christmas.
There will also be local food stands in the stable yard, while the Yorkshire Rock Choir will perform Christmas carols in front of the main house from noon until 2pm on Saturday.
James Hamilton-Goddard, commercial director at Bramham Park, near Wetherby, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to The Beginning of Christmas at Bramham Park.
“We are planning a great day out of festive cheer for all the family, filled with a variety of trade stands, music and food. Keep following us on social media as there are more announcements to come.”
Entry to the market will be free, with parking costing £10 per car if booked before November 1. The price will rise to £15 from November 1.
Then, in December, Bramham Park will launch Christmas House Tours, offering visitors a rare opportunity to step inside the Grade I-listed historic house.
The tours will provide an insight into the private family home, followed by tea, coffee and mince pies in the Old Kitchen.
Bramham Park is traditionally decorated for Christmas, including a 25ft tree in the hall and decorations throughout the house.
The estate said it is exploring new ways to increase public access and introduce more events to a wider audience.
Further announcements are expected.
