Chartwell Christmas Family Trail
Wrap up warm and explore Chartwell gardens this Christmas with our Family Trail!
- Booking not needed
- Admission applies
With Chartwell snowed under and the Churchills stuck in London, it’s up to Jock and his animal friends to get everything ready for Christmas! Follow the trail, complete fun activities at each stop, from decorating trees to preparing Christmas dinner and help bring festive cheer back to Chartwell. Little ones will love spotting the animals and collecting stamps on their trail sheet along the way.
Trails cost £3.50 and include a small prize. Extend your visit inside the house (house ticket needed) where each room celebrates Winston's love for animals from cherished pets to exotic and farmyard favourites.
Every purchase you make at Chartwell helps the National Trust preserve & share the history, nature and beauty of this special place with everyone, for ever. Thank you for your continued support.
