£7.50 per child | One adult carer is included free of charge per child

Gather around our Christmas campfire to hear our expert storyteller read some festive fairy tales while enjoying a warming mug of hot chocolate. Round off your visit by toasting marshmallows over the fire.
This is a quieter session of our fireside fairy tales event, offering shorter stories in a relaxed environment. Fewer tickets are available so we're able to offer more support to individual children. There is no age limit.
Fireside fairy tale sessions take place outdoors in the Stickyard. Please wear warm clothing.
Why not make a day of it? Spend your afternoon exploring Christmas at Chatsworth, or letting off some steam in the farmyard and adventure playground.
