Lyndhurst, the Gothic Revival estate at 635 South Broadway in Tarrytown, has published its full holiday schedule, and it starts the morning after Thanksgiving. Tours of the mansion are paused until then; the grounds reopen with the market on Friday, November 27.
Holiday Market Weekend, November 27 and 28
Forty vendors set up in the Carriage House and a heated tent in the courtyard from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, selling handmade jewelry, food and drink, home decor and skincare, with the Lyndhurst Museum Store open as well. A market-only ticket is $10 for adults, free for children 5 and under. A Mansion and Market ticket adds a walk through the decorated house: $30 for adults, $28 for seniors, students, military and AAA members, $20 for ages 6 to 16, free under 6. Last mansion entry is 4 p.m., and tickets, which are non-refundable, are sold online with check-in at the Welcome Center.
Holiday Classic Mansion Tours, November 29 to December 27
From Sunday, November 29, the house opens for guided holiday tours of its two main floors, decorated with dozens of Christmas trees and a changing set of decor, plus possessions of the estate's former owners that come out only in December. Tours run 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (last entry 3 p.m.) and last about an hour. The mansion is closed on Wednesdays except December 23. Adults pay $29, seniors, students, military and AAA members $27, ages 6 to 16 $22, and children 5 and under $10; EBT and SNAP cardholders pay $5 a person for up to four through Museums for All. The tour is not recommended for children under 6.
Fleurs de Villes, The Gilded Age, December 4 to 13
For ten days in December the mansion and Carriage House host Fleurs de Villes, a traveling exhibition of mannequins dressed entirely in fresh flowers. This edition is built around HBO's The Gilded Age, with 15 floral figures interpreting characters including Bertha Russell, Agnes van Rhijn, Marian Brook and Peggy Scott, set among the house's Gilded Age Christmas decor. It is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Tickets are $40 online or $45 at the door.
Dickens, and a chorale
On select dates between December 18 and 26, actor Michael Muldoon performs Mr. Dickens Tells A Christmas Carol in the second-floor art gallery at 5 and 7 p.m. The one-hour show, with no intermission, recreates Charles Dickens's own 1867 reading tour of the story from his script. Tickets are $49, recommended for ages 8 and up, and must be bought in advance; the gallery is up one long flight of stairs, and there is no late seating. The Putnam Chorale gives its Winter Ensemble concert at the estate on Saturday, December 19.
Down the hill, a village-wide market
The Tarrytown Music Hall, at 13 Main Street, runs its Sip, Taste, Shop holiday event on Tuesday, December 1, and Wednesday, December 2, from noon to 9 p.m. both days: a market of handmade and American-made goods from artisans, makers and authors inside the hall, with food and drink at the market and at restaurants and shops around the village.
Lyndhurst's parking is free, with accessible spaces across the property. The Tarrytown Metro-North station on the Hudson Line is about a mile and a half north. Ticket questions go to 914-631-4481, Thursday through Monday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
