The hall is dressed for a 1930s Christmas and ready to be explored.

The garden is also part of the festive celebrations, having been decked out with colourful lights for the festive season.

The Temple will be serving treats like mince pies and spiced apple juice and visitors can enjoy pizza, waffles and cocktails on the drive.

There will also be the chance to do some Christmas shopping for stocking fillers, garden and homeware.

Blickling's festive celebrations are running in the morning and evening until December 18 and booking is required to visit the garden.

The hall has been decorated for a traditional family Christmas.

There is a festive tree in the morning room, a grand feast in the dining room and games in the drawing room.

Visitors will also get a peek at the servants' corridor to see how the household staff might have celebrated.

The ground floor of the house is open between 12pm and 3pm on weekends until December 18.

The woodland on the estate has also been decorated with a Christmas tree trail open daily from dawn to dusk.

On December weekends, Father Christmas is paying a visit to the hall, reading festive stories in the Potting Shed bookshop.

Choirs and brass bands will also be at the hall for weekends, playing festive favourites in the courtyard.

The hall has been decorated for the season with lights and trees from Thursday to Sunday until December 18.

There will be house tours on Thursdays and Fridays showing the North Bedroom and Marian Hangings, which are back on display for the first time since 2016.
