An event promising to showcase 500 years of Christmas is set to return for the festive period.

Nantclwyd y Dre's annual 'Christmas Through the Ages' extravaganza will take place over the weekends of December 7 to 8 and 14 to 15.

The 'historic timber-framed townhouse' in Ruthin will be decorated with festive adornments and objects from key periods throughout its 'extensive history'.

This will offer a festive journey through the Medieval, Jacobean, Stuart, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras, right up to the 1940s.

Kate Thomson, site manager of Nantclwyd y Dre, said: "As well as being a fascinating and beautiful building, Nantclwyd y Dre has always been a family home, making it a place where people have gathered and celebrated at Christmas time for hundreds of years.

"We’re thrilled to be offering ‘Christmas Through the Ages’ this year to give visitors a unique way of experiencing the house, whilst keeping its tradition as a place of togetherness alive."

Councillor Emrys Wynne, lead member for the Welsh language, culture, and heritage, said: "From rustic medieval celebrations to the year Christmas was banned, visitors will be able to experience over 500 years of Christmas under one roof in an event that promises to be a heartwarming festive outing for family and friends."

Ruthin Gaol, Plas Newydd, and Nantclwyd y Dre are now introducing gift entry vouchers, offering a 'unique gift idea' for friends and family to explore these 'popular historic attractions' in Denbighshire.

Gift vouchers will be available to purchase during the upcoming Ruthin Artisan Markets being held at both Ruthin locations on November 30, during Nantclwyd y Dre’s ‘Christmas Through the Ages’ event, and at Plas Newydd’s Christmas Fayre on December 7.

Nantclwyd y Dre’s ‘Christmas Through the Ages’ event will be open to visitors from 10am to 4pm, with last entry at 3pm, on the event dates.

Normal admission fees apply.
