Experience a Georgian Easter at Fairfax House with historical décor, fancy dress, and an egg hunt.
A Georgian Easter
Visit Fairfax House this Easter holiday and find our rooms beautifully dressed for the Spring season. You’ll step back in time and discover each room as if the Fairfaxes have just stepped out, leaving their world behind for you to explore.
Easter-themed activities for children:
A Mischief of Mice – The Fairfax Mice have returned for the Spring season and have been up to no good stealing the Fairfax’s very special Easter eggs. Can you spot the mice and find all the eggs?
Dress Like a Georgian – Donn fine frocks and breeches and step into the world of the 18th century with our fancy dress options.
The house will be decorated for Easter from 5 April – 20 April. There is no additional cost for this event, simply book a General Admission ticket. Kids go free.
