With this unpredictable weather, why not get ready for Christmas? And this year, we have two Yorkshire icons teaming up for an unforgettable holiday experience. Castle Howard, renowned for its fabulous Christmas event, is set to host a pop-up Bettys shop complete with mouthwatering confectionery, chocolates, and more.
Located in the historic Stable Courtyard this Christmas, you can warm up with Bettys tea and coffee along with something sweet to go with it. Earlier this month, Castle Howard announced its Christmas theme for 2024, ‘Alice’s Christmas Wonderland’, which will see the 300-year-old house transformed with installations, props, soundscapes, and projections.
The Bettys pop-up, alongside Castle Howard’s Farm Shop, Courtyard Café, and Garden Centre, will also be open for customers who aren’t entering the Christmas event. Much-loved treats, including the famous Fat Rascals, fondant fancies, hampers, and Christmas gifts, will all be available from the Bettys shop. A bespoke Alice-themed fancy will also be featured.
Bettys pop-up shop is set to open on the 14th November 2024 until 5th January 2025, excluding 25th, 26th December, and 1st January.
Vicky Howard said: “We are thrilled to welcome Bettys this Christmas. 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 are 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. It feels to me like the perfect meeting of two world-famous Yorkshire destinations. Bettys is all about creating deliciously magical experiences and Castle Howard during its beautiful Christmas event is a truly unique setting. Bettys will bring with it all that makes it a Christmas essential.
“The beautiful shop interior has been designed by our aesthetic team and visitors can also expect to see a stunning Bettys Christmas windows display. The shop will be offering a range of Bettys Christmas favourites alongside our best-loved treats, from Yorkshire Fat Rascals to a brand-new Fondant Fancy to honour the occasion.”
