Visitors can get into the festive spirt at Chesterfield’s Revolution House this Christmas

Everyone is invited to step back in time this Christmas and visit Revolution House.

Decorated for a 17th Century Christmas with displays of greenery, a kissing bough, and colourful flower arrangements provided by our volunteers, this really is an attraction not to be missed.

The historic house is open from Thursday 8 December to Saturday 24 December 2022 from 11am to 3pm.

Those interested in history will also be able to visit the video room, and watch a short video on the Revolution of 1688.

Carol concert

A highlight of the Chesterfield Christmas schedule is always the special carol concert held at Revolution House. This will take place on Thursday 8 December at 6.30pm.

There, you can join Holymoorside Brass Band in the garden at Revolution House for traditional, festive carol singing. Song sheets will be given out on the night for everyone in attendance to join in with the carols and get into the festive spirit.

Councillor Kate Sarvent, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for town centre and visitor economy, said: “If you are looking to organise traditional Christmas activities for all the family to enjoy, I’d recommend visiting Revolution House.

“The decorations are always stunning, and the annual carol concert always helps me to get into the festive spirit.”

It is advised that visitors bring a torch with them to the carol service as it will be dark when the performance takes place.

Please note that in the event of bad weather, the event could be cancelled. Entry to the house and garden is free, however donations are welcome to help the attraction in delivering more great events.
