Christmas at Chatsworth

7 November 2026 – 3 January 2027

This Christmas, step inside The 12 Days of Christmas as one of the season’s best-loved songs is brought to life in new and unexpected ways.

From a partridge perched high in a magnificent seven-metre pear tree to delicate paper calling birds, leaping lords, and twelve drummers with a distinctly Chatsworth twist, encounter familiar characters and playful interpretations of the song as you explore the house and garden.

Pre-booking essential.

Farmyard & playground

The farmyard has been a favourite day out for children since 1973. There are so many farmyard friends to meet, from Eugenie the rare breed Suffolk Punch mare to Itsy and Bitsy the pygmy goats. 

Take the secret tunnel to the playground for exciting woodland adventures, with tall towers to climb, slides, swings, sand and water play.
