Castle offerings

Paddington Bear joins Sleeping Beauty and Scrooge at Leeds Castle this Christmas for festive celebrations throughout the season. Michael Bond’s marmalade-loving bear will join a selection of festive stories told through illustration for the castle’s Once Upon a Time at Christmas, running until New Year’s Day. The Christmas market is also on the Cedar Lawn with gifts, food and drink, live music and fairground rides on Saturday, December 8 and Sunday, December 9.
