For the first time this year we are opening the downstairs of the house into the evening just before Christmas.

The staircase hall
It’s an opportunity to see the house in the dark, with the electric lights just as the Beale family would have known it, along with all our cheerful seasonal decorations.

We try to get the hall fire lit!
We’re open into the twilight tonight and tomorrow if you’ve not yet been! Our very own Standen Choir will also be singing.
