Christmas in Berkshire

If you're after an opulent Christmas in the Berkshire area, you should head over to Basildon Park where they are drawing on Victorian traditions this year and going all-out with the glamour. You could experience Cliveden as the Astor family did, or revel in the cosy domesticity of Greys Court's 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.
