Explore the house and gardens, decorated for a spectacular Christmas ball. There's a towering Christmas tree in every room, festive decorations on every mantelpiece and glorious costumes to fire your imagination. Twinkling decorations, inspired by the night sky and Christmas magic, fill your day with seasonal joy.
Outside, discover the Fernery, beautifully lit with twinkling lights and lanterns, and enjoy the natural beauty of the frosty winter gardens. The Starlit Christmas Ball in the house runs every day 10.30am to 3pm (excluding 25/26 December)
Please note: in order to provide the best experience for all our visitors, we limit the numbers in the house. You may be asked to queue for a short period before entry. Visitor numbers usually peak in the morning and you may find the queues are reduced in the afternoon.
