A Victorian Christmas

Step back in time this December for a truly unique Christmas experience.

Begin with our standard 1-hour guided tour, where you’ll explore Edinburgh’s hidden history. As the tour concludes, make your way to one of our underground vaulted rooms for an exclusive 30-minute Victorian Christmas interactive experience. Meet a special member of the Chesney family, one of the last residents of the Close, who will transport you to Edinburgh’s Victorian era with tales of the festive season as it was then.

Learn how Christmas traditions evolved in the heart of Edinburgh, hear fascinating folklore, and perhaps be surprised by the customs we still cherish today. Warm yourself with a cup of tea and savour traditional scones topped with clotted cream and jam. Join in a hands-on craft activity inspired by authentic Victorian practices—an ideal way to step into the Christmas spirit as the Victorians once did.

Don’t miss this unique holiday journey through history!
