Inspired by the Winter Solstice and the shifting rhythms of nature, the House transforms into a dreamlike world of overgrown wonder.

Drawing from the landscapes of Petworth’s park and gardens, the artworks in its collection, and the spirit of conservation, each room glows with enchantment: celestial skies, roaming woodland creatures, towering trees, and spaces to pause and reflect. Mice scurry beneath gilded furniture, foxes watch from shadowed corners, and the stars themselves seem to whisper of returning light.

This Christmas, wander through rooms that invite stillness, spark imagination, and gently reconnect us with the quiet beauty of winter.

A Christmas Enchantment at Petworth House is open 29th November 2025 - 4th January 2026, 10.30am - 4pm. 
Normal admission applies
Closed 24th & 25th December.

On Saturday 29th November & Saturday 20th December experience the festive atmosphere at Petworth House after dark, with sparkling lights and a courtyard choir marking the turning of the season. A chance to enjoy the house's winter transformation in a new light. The House will be open until 6.30pm (last entry at 6pm), with a choir performing at 5.30pm.

On Saturday 29th Nov 10am-6.30pm & Sunday 30th Nov 10am-4pm find your Christmas gifts and a treat for yourself at this festive makers market featuring high quality artisan gifts. Held in partnership with Petworth Pop Up: Makers Market.
