Rock around the Christmas wreath

Sing loud for all to hear as you head off around the garden on the Christmas wreath trail.

Each wreath is created and decorated by our teams of staff and volunteers, and inspired by a different well loved Christmas song. Guess the song and sing along at the top of your voice.

And while you wander through the winter garden, why not pose for a family Christmas photo at one of two twinkly stations?  

Christmas decorations

Greenway House was the holiday home of Agatha Christie, and all the family would gather here to celebrate the season.

Rooms would be dressed with traditional decorations, collected over the years by Agatha and her family, and they would spend the holidays enjoying Greenway and its secluded garden. From playing family Christmas games, to Christmas feasts at the dining table and reading books by the fire, it was an idylic family holiday.

It was also the time of year when Agatha would release a new novel, and devoted fans would purchase one (either for themselves or a loved one) as a gift - prompting the phrase 'a Christie for Christmas'.

This Christmas soak up the seasonal cheer as the ground floor of the house twinkles and sparkles with traditional decorations. Volunteer pianists will fill the house with cheer, so come along and sing your favourite carol or thave a go at fun wreath crafts in the House Kitchen.
