“ There are so many ways to enjoy a Kentish Christmas! One of my favourite things is to attend the Canterbury Cathedral candlelit carol concerts, which are absolutely magical. Walking around the Canterbury Christmas Market is another lovely way to spend a few hours. I might be biased, of course, but Hever’ s Christmas Lights, trees and decorations are one festive event I would never miss, with the new Tudor decorations in the Boleyn Apartment being a must-see for any visitor. I always enjoy the wonderful craft workshops too, such as wreath-making at Penshurst Place. For me, a cosy pub lunch or supper would round off a perfect festive day.”
