Join Castle in the Clouds for our beloved annual tradition of Christmas at the Castle!

Each room in Lucknow Mansion is decked out for the holidays by local businesses. See how each business interprets this year’s theme: An Old-Fashioned New England Christmas.

The holiday magic continues in our Carriage House, where you can purchase gifts from local vendors at our Artisan Fair, drink hot cocoa and munch on holiday cookies, get creative at our craft table, and even take free photos with Santa. The Carriage House restaurant is open for lunch from 11:30 am until 3:30 pm, with a limited menu of snacks and cocktails available from 3:30 to 4:15 pm. Note: admission to the Artisan Fair and Carriage House restaurant is free, and does not require purchase of a ticket to view Christmas at the Castle.

Tickets will be sold in advance on our website and in person at the Carriage House until 3 pm each day of the event. Tickets purchased are redeemable for any day of the 2026 Christmas at the Castle program.

All ticket sales are final; no refunds, transfers to other programs, or exchanges.
