This Festive Season, see The Fan Museum in a new light…
From 11th to 18th December 2025 from 4:30pm – 7:00pm, The Fan Museum will open later than usual to welcome its visitors into a magical new take on its exhibition spaces, illuminated almost entirely by candles and underscored by classical festive favourites.
During these five evenings, the Orangery reopens its doors for visitors to enjoy a complimentary drink of mulled wine, cider or juice to fend of the crisp winter air.
Ticketholders must book in advance. Tickets will not be offered on the door.
Please note the Museum will be open to the general public as usual from 11:00am-3:30pm, with strict last entries at 3:00pm, for the duration of Museum by Candlelight.
Tickets are charged at £10.00.
