Bettys pop-up shop to return to Castle Howard this Christmas

The Bettys pop-up gift shop will return to Castle Howard for the second year running.

Synonymous with Yorkshire and celebrated internationally, Bettys is known for mouthwatering confectionary, chocolates, teas and coffees and had never-before created a pop-up shop until their Castle Howard offering last year, which coincided with the stately home’s Christmas events.

The shop will once again be situated inside the stately home’s Stable Courtyard, alongside Castle Howard’s Farm Shop, Courtyard Café, Coffee Shop and Garden Centre. The shop will be open for the duration of Castle Howard’s award-winning Christmas experiences, which last year welcomed a record-breaking 105,000 visitors.

The shop will stock a range of Christmas hampers and gifts, as well as some of Bettys best-loved products to enjoy with take-away hot drinks. To celebrate Castle Howard’s 2025 Christmas experience, Christmas at Castle Howard with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a special-edition chocolate Toto and box of four Wizard of Oz-themed Fondant Fancies will be available exclusively at Castle Howard.

Castle Howard Visitor Attraction Director, Abbi Ollive, said: “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Bettys for a second year; a fantastic addition to our Stable Courtyard which is developing a reputation as a Christmas shopping destination. The natural synergy between the two much-loved, iconic Yorkshire brands makes for a fantastic partnership, and is a real delight for our visitors, particularly the exclusive to Castle Howard-themed products.”

The Bettys pop-up shop opens 13th November 2024 – 4th January 2025, excluding 25th, 26th December and 1st January. Christmas at Castle Howard with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz runs 13th November 2025 – 4th January 2026.
