Holiday Parties

Celebrate the holidays with your staff, clients, and friends at the Lyman Estate.  In December, the mansion is magically transformed. Festive wreaths adorn windows, evergreen trees twinkle with lights, and mantels brim with ribbons and greenery. Filled with guests, the mansion comes alive with music and merriment.

The mansion accommodates 135 for a sit-down dinner or 150 for a cocktail-style reception or open house.  The estate is conveniently located five minutes from Route 128 and has ample free parking.

We'll help you select a caterer from our exclusive list, and will assist you with your event planning. 

The Lyman Estate will be unavailable for rental during 2011 while Historic New England completes major energy efficiency work that will transform the estate into a leading green historic site. E-mail the Lyman Estate staff to inquire about dates for your 2010 holiday party.
