Plas Newydd Historic House and Gardens in Llangollen is set to host its annual Christmas event.

The event, which will take place on Saturday, December 7, promises to bring 'seasonal sparkle' to the grounds and provide a touch of Christmas magic for families.

The event will run from 11.30am to 5pm.

There will be a range of activities for visitors to enjoy, including wreath-making workshops, which can be booked in advance online or in person at the tearoom.

The workshops cost £10 per person and offer the chance to create a unique decoration for the home.

Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to book a free timed ticket to meet Father Christmas in the house.

He will also be making appearances in the illuminated gardens later in the day.

There will be an artisan winter market, where visitors can shop from a selection of local makers, and music performances throughout the afternoon.

The grounds will feature a new festive trail and a woodland play area.

There will also be opportunities to post letters to Father Christmas, and to make reindeer food and decorations.

As darkness falls, the gardens and topiary will be illuminated, and there will be seasonal refreshments available, including mulled wine, mince pies, and roasted chestnuts.

The event is free to enter, although some activities require booking or payment on the day.

Funds raised from the event will go towards the upkeep of the house and gardens.

Jillian Howe, community engagement officer for the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape said: "We are excited to once again welcome the community to this wonderful heritage site for Christmas.

"After another busy year at Plas Newydd, the event is an opportunity to celebrate the end of the winter season with fun activities for all of the family to enjoy."

Councillor Alan James, lead member for local development and planning, added: "Plas Newydd is a historic gem that we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep here in Denbighshire.

"The historic property offers a unique exploration of a wealth of history and is a brilliant place to visit during the festive period."

Visitors are advised that there will be no parking on-site during the day and are encouraged to make use of parking in the town or to walk or cycle to the event.

The historic house is currently closed for the season and will re-open in the spring.
