Once upon a time...
Storytellers with the air of the Pied Piper will roam the halls enchanting visitors young and old as scenes from a selection of favourite tales leap off the pages, from classics like Snow White and Cinderella to contemporary stories like James and the Giant Peach and Charlotte's Web.
Don't forget to pick up a fun family trail at the entrance to see what mischief our friendly baby dragon is up to on the route.
Select rooms on the upper floor of the house will be closed for annual conservation during the Christmas season.
