Christmas magic awaits with The Vyne’s house and gardens sumptuously decorated to tell the story of The Nutcracker. Enjoy off-peak visits before the school holidays begin (around 16 December). Families can follow indoor and outdoor festive trails by purchasing a Nutcracker house and garden trail sheet for £1.50 from Visitor Reception. Parking is free and picnics are welcome. Alternatively, in the Brewhouse tea-room you can order from the hot lunch menu before 2.30pm or simply grab some top-up snacks. You’ll find a range of festive gifts in the shop. Wellies at the ready, Morgaston Woods offers three circular waymarked routes where you can blow away the cobwebs.
