Christmas in Berkshire

This year in the Berkshire area you can step back in time at Basildon Park to the glamour of Christmases past, help Mother Christmas with her tasks at Cliveden or revel in the cosy domesticity of Greys Court's Swiss Brunner family Christmas.

We have all the traditions of carols, decorated houses and seasonal treats to enjoy and every time you visit you're helping to look after these special places.
