The Christmas Stockings Trail at Powis Castle and Garden

Follow a trail of traditional Christmas stockings through the garden and discover traditional wicker decorations, festive scenes and seasonal surprises along the way.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Step into the magic of Christmas at Powis Castle and Garden and follow a festive trail inspired by the timeless traditions of Christmas stockings and seasonal decorations.

Wander through the garden in search of bright red stockings and handcrafted wicker ornaments. Along the way, pause at the Orangery and peer into a cosy winter scene, beautifully dressed for Christmas and filled with festive charm.

Along the way, discover a different side of the garden. The evergreen yew topiaries stand out against the winter landscape, while the bare branches of the Wilderness reveal beautiful vistas of the castle and terraces hidden for much of the year.

Afterwards, warm up with a seasonal treat in the café and browse the shop for Christmas gifts and decorations.
