About Christmas at Chatsworth
8 November - 4 January
Christmas is one of the most popular times of year at Chatsworth. As a Friend, you receive complimentary tickets to our Christmas at Chatsworth experience and can also purchase guest tickets at 10% off.
As the event is so popular, we highly recommend that you pre-book your Friends tickets online as soon as possible to secure the preferred date and time for your visit.
Pre-booking is essential at Christmas for every visit.
Chatsworth at Christmas tickets include:
- entry to the decorated house
- entry to the garden, including the garden light trail
- entry to the farmyard and adventure playground
- free parking for one car or motorcycle per transaction
Friends also benefit from complimentary market parking during the Christmas market (8 Nov - 14 Dec). These tickets will be available to book later in the year.
Friends may also book 'car park only' tickets for visits to our shops, restaurants, and parkland between 8 November and 4 January. These will be available to book later in the year.
Garden only tickets
Subject to capacity, garden only tickets may be released for sale in September. We'll let you know by email if they become available.
Friends-only entry times
For 2025, we are offering several house entry times for our Christmas at Chatsworth experience that are exclusive to Friends.
You are still welcome to book a visit on any date or time where there is availability; however, these dedicated Friends sessions have a lower capacity and so will be quieter than some other timeslots. They are among the most popular times of day to visit and are available on a first come, first served basis, so we expect them to be booked up quickly.
The Friends-only sessions will be at 4.45pm and 5.00pm on the following dates:
Wednesday 3 December
Thursday 4 December
Wednesday 10 December
Thursday 11 December
Wednesday 17 December*
Thursday 18 December*
*Please note that the Christmas market will not be running on 17 & 18 December; the market runs from 8 November to 14 December.
