Lauralton Hall will host Christmas in the Mansion on Sunday, December 8, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at 200 High Street, Milford, CT. Admission is $10 at the door, and children ages 12 and younger are free of charge.
At Christmas in the Mansion, visitors are invited to tour the school's decorated Victorian Gothic mansion built in 1864, shop for holiday gifts from among more than 65 vendors offering items ranging from handcrafted goods and modernized vintage jewelry to designer fashions and upcycled decorative pieces. Guests can also visit the crèche in Lauralton's century-old chapel in Mercy Hall, bring children to see Santa in his workshop, and enjoy crafts facilitated by Lauralton student "elves." Be sure to bring your camera to capture a photo with Santa.
Visitors can also view curated displays of student artwork along with additional special collections on loan from Friends of Lauralton. This year’s event features guest author Michael C. Dooling, an archivist, former news librarian, and author of works including Milford Lost and Found.
For those who want to shop early, a reservation-only Preview Party will be held on Saturday, December 7, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The party includes hors d'oeuvres, a light dinner buffet, dessert, libations, Christmas music, and much more. For details and to purchase Preview Party tickets, visit www.lauraltonhall.org/christmas.
