This Christmas, explore beautifully decorated rooms filled with traditional festive sparkle and an imaginative woolly twist. Shugborough's very own flock of sheep are hard at work preparing for some special visitors when Shaun the Sheep™ arrives next February.
Join them for Seasons Bleatings, a festive adventure suitable for all ages. Enjoy sheep-inspired decorations, snap a photo on our sheep-drawn sleigh, and explore the Mansion on a trail to find Tiny Tim, our mischievous orphan lamb who just can't seem to stay put!
So put on a festive jumper and be part of the countdown to Shaun's visit - a Christmas adventure that's sure to be a woolly good time!
The Mansion and Servants' Quarters are open daily from 11am to 3pm between 28 November and 23 December, 27 and 30 December, and 2 and 3 January.
Entry is free to National Trust members, and standard admission applies to non-members, who can pay on arrival. Children under five go free.
