About

Meet at Hollytrees, and join your costumed guide to discover the many ways in which the townsfolk of Victorian Colchester celebrated Christmas. 

The tour starts at 1.30pm, but why not arrive a little early for some pre-Christmas shopping in our gift shop, which stocks a wide range of locally produced craft items and gifts. We're also happy to offer a pre-tour mince pie to all attendees!

Your tour will finish at the Christmas Farmer's Market, held outside the Mercury Theatre, where we'll provide a 10% off voucher on refreshments at the Mercury.

Saturday 16th December, 1.30pm from the Colchester Visitor Information Centre in Hollytrees Museum.

Cost -  Adults: £5.00 Children 5 to 15 years: £3.50
