Castle Hill on the Crane Estate, 290 Argilla Rd., Ipswich, will host its annual holiday open house Greening of the Great House December 5-7, 2014.

A North Shore tradition, the Greening of the Great House will feature lavishly decorated rooms transformed by florists and designers, self-guided tours, and live entertainment.

This year’s theme honors the Roaring Twenties, the decade in which the Great House was constructed.

On Friday evening, December 5, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., visitors can enjoy a Roaring 20s Cocktail Party with live jazz music, appetizers, and a drink at the cash bar as well as tour the Great House.

Vintage attire is encouraged.

Advance reservations are required through www.thetrustees.org.

Tickets are $20 for members and $25 for nonmembers.

On Saturday, December 6, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, December 7, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., attendees can tour the Great House, enjoy live music, dance, and other presentations, and feast on warm cookies and cider.

Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are at the door only: $15 for adults and $8 for children and seniors, $10 and $5 for Trustees of Reservations’ members, and $8 for Ipswich residents with proof of residency.

Attendees may bring an unwrapped toy to benefit needy families through Ipswich Caring.
