A historic stately home is gearing up for a festive season of magical events.

Knowsley Hall, in Merseyside, has announced its exciting line-up of Christmas events.

Tickets are now available for the events, which include a carol sing-along and a festive afternoon tea.

The Christmas carol sing-along will take place on December 14 and will be accompanied by the renowned Leos Strings quintet and brass musicians.

Attendees can enjoy unlimited hot chocolate, a mince pie, and a carol sheet, all included in the ticket price of £15 per adult and £10 per child under 16.

Additional drinks, including mulled wine, will be available for purchase.

On the same day, Knowsley Hall will offer a festive twist on its luxury signature afternoon tea.

Guests will be welcomed with beautiful music and will have the chance to create their own seasonal cocktail or mocktail using Knowsley Hall's Walled Garden Gin.

The afternoon tea, inspired by Edward Lear's poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat', will feature savoury bites, freshly baked sweet and savoury scones, and a selection of pastries and cakes bursting with seasonal flavours.
