Salmesbury Hall Built in 1325, Samlesbury Hall is steeped in fascinating history, retaining its original typical black and white exterior which wows any visitor as soon as they drive into the grounds. Visiting at Christmas will take your breath away, especially if you visit for their Christmas Fair on 28th - 29th November, or their Christmas Ghost Story from 14th - 21st December. Hoghton Tower The ancestral Home of the De Hoghton family since 1200, Hoghton Tower is a fortified Elizabethan manor house that exudes history from the second you step onto its long driveway. The Tower is open for group tours throughout the year, and public tours take place on selected days. This year the Christmas Through the Ages Tours will take place during the Christmas Markets weekend of 28th and 29th November and again on 4th and 11th December. There will also be opportunities for families to see some of the Tower during the Magical Meeting with Father Christmas events and Festive Afternoon Tea in the Tearoom throughout the month.

Judges’ Lodgings Now home to a museum, the Judges’ Lodgings was once a grand house for the visiting court judges, with beautifully decorated rooms giving you the chance to step back in time all year round, each December the Museum is decorated in a traditional style for their Victorian Christmas weekend. Taking place over 5th - 6th December it's not one to be missed. Leighton Hall At 800 years old, Leighton Hall, the ancestral home of the famous Gillow family, is one of Lancashire's oldest remaining lived-in houses. There are no "roped off areas" and guests are guided around a true family home. At Christmas, this means true decorations, family heirlooms and more. While the off- season is usually reserved for group visits, Leighton Hall does offer a Magical Christmas evening of public tours on 10th December.
