The Hampstead landmark where you can soak up history and go Christmas shopping

Must read

At Kenwood there is a delightful variety of gifts on offer – from flavoured curds to cuddly toys – and the shops will even be open on Christmas Eve.

Pick up a last-minute gift, enjoy a hot beverage or cake in the café, and see the world renowned art collection all at the same time. 

And best of all, by doing your Christmas shopping with us you will be supporting English Heritage in our charitable mission, helping us share England’s historic sites, objects and stories with millions more people for generations to come.

At Kenwood there are four shops available to buy gifts from for Christmas.

The house shop, where you will find a selection of Kenwood souvenirs, books, postcards and more.

The garden shop in Mansion Cottage with gifts for both indoor and outdoor gardening, jewellery, and a walking range.

And finally, the Orangery has a wonderful selection; from Jellycat cuddly toys to second-hand clothing – there’s something special for everyone.

There will also be tastings on offer in the Orangery and garden shops; sample some festive tipples such as chilli or ginger mead or try award winning jams and curds. Some of the delicious flavours on offer include toffee apple, cherry and elderflower & rose.

And why not gift English Heritage membership to a special someone this year?

This can be purchased at our shops and we offer 20% off with annual direct debit. Give a loved one the gift of visiting castles, historic homes, stone circles, abbeys and roman ruins all over the country for a whole year.

We would like to wish every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you over the festive season.

And of course a huge thank-you for all of  your continued support over this last year, from your dedicated Team at Kenwood.
