Castle Howard announce theme for Christmas 2025

Twelfth night had barely bade farewell as Castle Howard announced the theme for its Christmas extravaganza in 2025.

Visitors to the stately home will be invited to gather their friends and family and skip down the yellow brick road to experience the house dressed as scenes from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Working with the same creative team that brought Alice's Christmas Wonderland and Christmas in Neverland to Castle Howard, the festive take on L. Frank Baum's much-loved story will be told with theatrical installations, immersive soundscapes and projections.

Children and adults alike will be able to delight in seeing the iconic characters and unique locations from the wonderful world of Oz, brought to life in technicolour splendour.

A statement on the Castle Howard read: “There’s no place like our home at Christmas, so click your heels and let us transport you over the rainbow to the merry old land of Oz!”
