Step back in time this Christmas at Como House with House of Discovery: Seasons Greetings.

Returning for its fourth year, this much-loved event brings the festive season to life at Como House and Gardens.

This year’s exhibition mark’s the National Trust’s 70th year with a nod to the 1950’s – the Armytage’s last Christmas at Como before it became a museum.
Experience the glamour and warmth of a 1950s festive celebration, with a nostalgic glimpse into a stylish era of hospitality and festive cheer. The exhibition will feature beautifully dressed rooms and mid-century charm (and just a little bit of kitsch!).

We have an exciting program of events this year – join us for festive season, starting Wednesday 4 November 2026.
