Deck the Hall at Little Moreton Hall
Visitors explore the decorated manor house alongside the bewildered Lord of Misrule and his band of fools, who find modern holiday traditions completely baffling. Guests follow the trail through the rooms to discover how Christmas celebrations have changed across the centuries. On weekends, the experience includes costumed jesters and live period music from Merrie Noyse and Piva.
