Everyone loves a good pantomime at Christmas. Oh yes they do!
That's why we've turned the lower floors of the house into a
lavish, decorative and dramatic tribute to thirteen family favourites:
featuring tales from Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella to Peter Pan
and Puss in Boots.

As you make your way through the house you'll find our guides
suitably dressed as Widow Twanky, Captain Hook, the Fairy
Godmother or the wicked witch. You may even come across a
pantomime cow roaming the halls!

You'll also find a children's trail, with hidden clues to the identity
of every pantomime.

So if you want to blend the spirit of Christmas with the magic of
pantomime, there's simply no better place to bring the family this
festive season.

During the Christmas season, the top floor of the house, including the State Rooms, Old Master Drawings Cabinet, Sketch Galleries and Guest Bedrooms are closed for annual conservation.
