Castle Howard is to host a pop-up Bettys shop in their historic Stable Courtyard this Christmas.
Synonymous with Yorkshire and celebrated around the world, Bettys is known for their mouth-watering confectionary, chocolates, teas and coffees.
Their first ever pop-up shop will be situated inside the stately home’s Stable Courtyard for the duration of their award-winning Christmas event. This year’s theme, which will see the 300-year-old house transformed with installations, props, soundscapes and projections, has been announced as ‘Alice’s Christmas Wonderland’ and follows last year’s Peter Pan-themed event which saw record-breaking visitor numbers.
The Bettys pop-up, alongside Castle Howard’s Farm Shop, Courtyard Café and Garden Centre, will be open for all customers throughout the festive period, who can enjoy much-loved treats, including the famous Fat Rascals, fondant fancies, hampers and Christmas gifts, along with a bespoke Alice-themed fancy.
Vicky Howard, Castle Howard’s Executive Chairman said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Bettys this Christmas as it’s a perfect combination of two much-loved Yorkshire brands. We know our visitors and local communities already use our Stable Courtyard as a place to shop for gifts and essentials, and we’re excited to offer even more options this festive season.”
Bettys Managing Director Simon Eyles said: “In Bettys’ 105-year history this pop-up is a first. Bettys is all about creating deliciously magical experiences and Castle Howard during its beautiful Christmas event is a truly unique setting. Visitors can expect to see a stunning Bettys Christmas window displays alongside a range of Christmas favourites and our best-loved treats.”
The Bettys pop-up shop will be open from 14th November 2024 – 5th January 2025, (excluding 25th, 26th December and 1st January) and Alice’s Christmas Wonderland runs 15th November 2024 – 5th January 2025,
