Yorkshire wraps up festive season

Castle Howard, near York, is getting into the spirit with a huge Christmas tree and a gingerbread house, while at Nunnington Hall, Helmsley, visitors can experience Christmas from Georgian times to the modern day.

For a Victorian Christmas weekend, head to Robin Hood’s Bay on 8-10 December. Father Christmas will be on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s Santa Express, leaving his reindeer at Pickering station. Also at Helmsley, you can join a Winter Owl Evening at the National Centre for Birds of Prey. Further details at http://bit.ly/2iwogyn.
