We'd love to see you!
This is Christmas Day at Hemsworth Estate in the e This is Christmas Day at Hemsworth Estate in the early 2000s with my mum Margie, Granny, Aunt Jo and (a very young version of) myself 🥹 I think my love of Christmas stemmed from these kind of moments where there was lots and lots of preparing together. 

Shelling peas, everyone stirring the Christmas cake 🥄 getting out the good silverware and linens, reading other families' newsletters to see what they had been up to over the year. 

Jema and I love a good gathering, and to us the festive season is the perfect excuse 🥂 It's been 5 years since we started our first tradition of hosting a Christmas Party, and I hope our first one open to the public this December will become a tradition we love for future years to come as well!

I'd love to know your own favourite Christmas moments and traditions 👇

Rebecca, lover of all things Christmas 🎄
Did you know all of the Christmas displays are mad Did you know all of the Christmas displays are made by Jema using recycled materials? 👀 Last Christmas, Jema took down the entire display on Christmas Eve while Rebecca was busy in the kitchen and re-installed it in our private garden to surprise her! 🥰

Inspired by how beautiful it looked, this year 🎄we've decided to put the entire display in our orchard for our Christmas Soirée for you all to enjoy.  Swipe for some BTS of last year's install... 👉

We recently had some visitors who knew Rebecca's g We recently had some visitors who knew Rebecca's grandparents, and were part of many treasured memories for Rebecca.  They brought this photo of Rebecca's grandparents Doug and Diana Wallace (née Guinness) alongside friends Jill and Geoff Dobson, and Yvonne and Blue Martin at an Ex-Naval Men's Evening in 1970.

It's these kinds of photos, and the vibe of the soiree they attended that have inspired what we host at Hemsworth Estate - like our upcoming Christmas Soirée you'll be able to attend in December. 

Maybe we should add a black & white portrait setting? What do you think?
