80s Christmas throwback coming to Arundells

Tuesday, 7 November 2023 00:00

Dive deep into nostalgia as the festive spirit of 1985, the year Sir Edward Heath first made Arundells his home, is recreated.

Relive the quintessential '80s Christmas moments: twinkling fairy lights, gleaming foil decorations, indulging in Quality Street chocolates, eagerly awaiting the Queen's speech, and, of course, the occasional nudge to the TV for better reception!

Experience the wonder of Christmas as Sir Edward Heath might have, and immerse yourself in the nostalgia of the decade.

Highlights include:

The house will be decorated in classic ‘80s style, with the classiest foil decorations, white Christmas trees and more-is-more aesthetic! Themed rooms, looking at the Music, TV and Film, Food and Drink and World Events of the decade. Pianist, Sophie Eden, will fill the house with fabulous festive tunes on Sir Edward Heath’s beloved Steinway piano.

Luke Futcher, Marketing and Communications Manager at Arundells says:

“We’re thrilled to be offering something a little different for our Christmas open weekends this year. The 1985 theme is sure to bring back memories of the decade that gave us the boldest, brightest, shiniest, and (arguably) best Christmases, when more was more and too much was never enough.”

The house will be open for Christmas visitors for the first three weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) in December, so don your shoulder pads and leg warmers and join us for festive fun 1985 style!
