- Castle Howard has opened its 2024 festive event ‘Alice’s Christmas Wonderland’ where the 300-year-old stately home is transformed into an immersive Christmas experience, dressed in set pieces, decorations, floristry, projections, lighting and sound.
Former Great British Bake Off baker from the 2019 season, Helena Garcia, attended the launch and spoke to The Yorkshire Post about her journey since she left the show.

The Alice’s Christmas Wonderland creative team CLW Event Design, headed by Charlotte Lloyd Webber and Adrian Lillie, have worked on the project since January 2024. The installation process in the house took two weeks to complete and includes 30,000 baubles on display, with the team reusing and recycling products where possible and favouring more sustainable materials such as paper and glass.

- Description
- When a historic Yorkshire pub went up for lease, there was an iconic collection of Christmas decorations that couldn’t be handed over.
The Black Rock, Wakefield has remained a popular watering hole for workers in the city centre who would pile in every evening and fill the small pub, huddling over their beloved pints.
It was always quite a down-beat pub until its then landlord and custodians began acquiring a collection of decorations every Christmas. Over the years some stray bits of tinsel evolved into an array of plastic bells, colourful foil decorations and bags upon bags of tinsel.
The Black Rock regular and owner of a nearby bar Nathan Birkenshaw said: “When you think of Christmas in Wakefield, you think of a pint in The Black Rock surrounded by all those decorations.
“A collection curated over the course of twenty years by Shaun Salter, Matt Copeland, Marc Beachill, featuring all the tackiest tinsel you can imagine.”

The event was hosted by John Fenton at Elmswell Farms, Driffield, with the hedgelayers working in a number of traditional regional styles. Overall winner was Welshman Mark Pritchard.
