Come out to the Allandale Mansion and play card games while enjoying punch and popcorn. Card decks and game instructions will be provided, players will play games of their choice like hearts or even Go Fish! There is no cost, but participants are asked to preregister so organizers can anticipate attendance numbers.

The 2023 Holiday Teas are coming to Allandale Mansion on December 20 & December 22!
Be sure to wear your favorite holiday outfit. We will have fruit “tea” and snacks, make an ornament craft, and guests will have the opportunity to tour the Mansion take photos, play games, and dance in the parlor.
Register online beginning December 4 using your CivicRec account.
Preregistration is required to attend. An adult must remain onsite with the child during the event. There is no charge for the accompanying adult, but they will not receive a snack or craft.
Welcome to our first edition of “Around Allandale”, the blog keeping you informed about events happening in and around the Mansion!
Our fourth August concert series was a resounding success with large crowds, lots of families, and some delicious food trucks coming out to share a good time. We were happy to welcome PEAK (Kingsport’s Young Professional Organization) to partner with Friends of Allandale to make this event truly shine. Thank you to our performers: Vic Henley, Folk Soul Revival, Kyle Cook, and Beth Snapp. Another thank you goes out to Foodie Fiction, Backdraft BBQ, Sam’s Snoball Paradise, and Auntie Ruth’s Doughnuts for attending our event with your delicious food. A final thank you to Friends of Allandale, PEAK Kingsport, the Eastman Foundation, Eastman Credit Union, Visit Kingsport, and City of Kingsport staff for all your help in making this event a success. We look forward to next year’s concert series!
Next time you’re in the Mansion, take a look at our gorgeous William Barnish clock! “Clocking” in at over 200 years old, we recently made some small cosmetic repairs to this beauty so that it can be enjoyed for many years to come!
Our next community event will be our annual holiday tours. A Kingsport tradition, our holiday tours are a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Join us for a self-guided tour with cookies and wassail on the following dates:
Saturday, December 1: 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Sunday, December 2: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
We will post additional details as we get closer to the event, so be sure to check back either here on the website or on our Facebook page.
