From the 4 – 21 December visitors will see the rooms of the castle traditionally decorated with twinkling Christmas trees and seasonal garlands
As dusk falls enjoy walking in the crisp night air and be enchanted as the gardens turn into an illuminated winter wonderland with festoons of colour in the magnificent Italian Gardens.
For the young at heart Christmas would never be complete without a visit from Father Christmas who collects post from the Christmas Post Office. Youngsters will be able to write and post their letters all adding to this jolly atmosphere.
