Christmas in Oxfordshire

This year around Oxfordshire you can stock up on gifts at our Christmas markets and shops, follow Stowe's landscape advent calendar trail, enjoy Waddesdon's Christmas market and light spectacle or revel in the cosy domesticity of Greys Court's Swiss 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.
