This Christmas, experience the magic of Rapturous Delight, with glowing interiors, immersive projections, and special after-dark events featuring a new illuminated light trail through the garden.

Rapturous Delight

10am - 4pm, from Saturday 29 November to Sunday 4 January 

This winter, join us for a magical Christmas experience, immersing yourself the enchanting projections, evocative sounds and charming stories of Rapturous Delight in the Long Gallery. Created by digital arts, music and theatre company Leo & Hyde, this immersive light and sound experience explores Croome’s Pages from Nature theme, celebrating the 200-year anniversary of the publication of the Hortus Croomensis. The festivities continue throughout the house, with decorations inspired by Croome's remarkable landscape and plant collection, bringing the outside in for our visitors to enjoy over the Christmas season.

Please note that Croome will be closed on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 December.

Relaxed sessions: From 10am - 11am every morning, we're offering relaxed sessions for Rapturous Delight with limited time slot entries for anyone who will benefit from experiencing Croome when it's less busy and with others who may be more familiar with additional needs.
