Christmas at Chatsworth

From the first of November, the timeless Christmas story is magically told with life size silhouettes by Jan Pienkowski. Beautiful traditional decorations on the lower floors of the house and a second year of collaboration with 'Galvanize', the Sheffield metalwork festival, all combine to make a rich Christmas experience.
