October is all about cosy flavours, warming drinks and a few spooky seasonal treats at Muddy Boots and the Stables cafés. 🎃☕

Treat yourself to a slice of spiced pumpkin cake, complete with a white chocolate ghost throughout October, or cosy up with a pumpkin spice latte or gingerbread latte as the days grow cooler.

The scone of the month is apple crumble - a comforting classic made with Bramley apples and topped with delicious cinnamon crumble.

Which October treat will you test out first? 👻😋

In support of @norfolkandwaveneymind, we'll be wearing blue clothes today and we’ll be lighting the House blue this evening for #WorldMentalHealthDay.

Spending time in nature with people you care about can lift your spirits and help ease feelings of loneliness. If you'd like to get outdoors and meet new people, come and join a weekly social walk in the parkland - the next one is on Friday 16 October at 10am. There’s no need to book, just head along to the Estate Barn visitor reception in the main car park for 9.50am.

Introducing festive late openings at Blickling this Christmas! 📣✨🎄

We wanted to share that, after more than a decade of magical evenings, our Garden of Lights event will not be returning this year. We’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve created together and so grateful to everyone who has supported it over the years.

This year, we're offering something a little different. We'll be opening late on selected evenings between 28 November and 23 December so you can gather together with friends and family to enjoy a festive visit. The front drive will be lined with illuminated Christmas trees, the House will be open after dark for you to discover 'A Woolly Winter Adventure at Blickling Hall', and the Parterre will sparkle with fairy lights, traditional family games and a few baa-rilliant Shaun the Sheep sculptures to spot. The Shop and Stables Café will also be open for festive shopping and seasonal treats.

Best of all, House and Garden entry is free for National Trust members and there's no need to book. Dig out your Christmas jumper and head to our website to find out more, or search 'Christmas at Blickling'. 🔗
