Sir Robert Lorimer’s marvellous mansionhouse, Hill of Tarvit near Cupar, is gearing up for a great Christmas event that will transport visitors back to Edwardian times on Saturday 6 December.
Costumed tour guides will take visitors on a trip back to the early 20th Century, as the family and servants prepare for the festive season. Visitors can also get creative and make their very own Edwardian Christmas decoration.
The house has undergone a transformation in time for Christmas too. The exterior of the building has recently been repainted with its original white limewash.
Property Manager, Ruth Burgess said:
“Edwardian Christmases were not so long ago, but I think visitors will be surprised by the formality and grandeur of these important family occasions. We’re very lucky to have such a fine house to help bring these festive celebrations from days gone by to life for our visitors.”
The event takes place on Saturday 6 December from noon until 4pm. Entry costs £2.
