Decorated showrooms will reimagine collection highlights through creative festive displays, from crafted paper flowers inspired by still life paintings to blue-and-white decorations influenced by Dyrham's Delftware. With sparkling trees, big red bows, a giant wreath, a children's trail, choirs in the church, and craft workshops, there's something for everyone to make a festive outing to remember. A poetry trail will run around the garden highlighting seasonal delights. A wassail will take place on Sat 2 Jan to bless the 2026 harvest.
