The National Trust for Scotland’s Pollok House in Glasgow is gearing up for the festive period with a variety of seasonal treats throughout December.

Families who come to the Glaswegian house throughout the Christmas season will be met with decorations galore, with each room decked out in a different theme. Children are in for an extra-special treat- the Pollok teddy bears will be celebrating themselves, enjoying their very own messy Christmas dinner.

The bears aren’t the only special guests in Pollok this Christmas, though. Mrs Claus will once more return to the house, eager to listen to the Christmas wishes of children and pass them on to her husband. She’ll bring along books as a special pre-Christmas treat to whoever comes to see her, so that children have something to tide them over ‘till her husband visits on Christmas Eve.

Meanwhile, the house’s award winning Edwardian kitchen restaurant has a special festive menu, while the food shop has further treats in store. Visitors can also go to the gift shop for Christmas treats, which are sure to go down a storm on the big day.

Pollok also has a treat in store for those who want to add a little romance to the festive season, as the property’s popular candlelit dinners return once more. After night has fallen over the house on Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout December, visitors can sit down to a three course meal dappled in flickering light, with a 10% discount at Pollok’s shops thrown in.

The Christmas season at Pollok runs from 10:00 to 17:00 from Saturday 28 November to Sunday 3 January. Tickets cost £1 for Trust members and £4 for non-members. Children under 12 go free.

Mrs Claus is in residence from 11:00 to 16:00 from Saturday 28 November to Thursday 24 December and children’s tickets to visit her cost £4, with timed ticketing applying.

Candlelit dinners run on every Wednesday and Thursday between Wednesday 2 and Thursday 17 December, with the House opening at 19:00, last orders at 20:30 and lights out at 22: 30. Tickets cost £25 per person, and can be booked by contacting the property on 0844 493 2202. Given the popularity of the event, booking early is advised.
