'Dido's Christmas Bones' family trail
Join Dido the Dog on a tail-wagging Christmas Adventure at Ightham Mote
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
The whole family can enjoy sniffing out the hidden bones in this festive family spotter trail. Dido, the faithful St Bernard dog who once lived at Ightham Mote, has hidden her favourite Christmas bones around the house and gardens - each one inspired by a different era, from medieval feasts to 1980s sparkle. Follow her paw prints to find the bones and discover how Christmas has been celebrated through the centuries in this magical, dog-friendly adventure.
NB Dogs are allowed in the garden but not in the courtyard or house. Runs during opening hours – free with normal admission
