Description

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.

Reimagined by our Christmas design team, alongside new commissions from British and international artists, designers, and makers, this year’s experience celebrates the creativity and craftsmanship at the heart of Chatsworth.

As darkness falls, the story continues in the garden. Follow a new light and sound trail through Chatsworth’s best-known landmarks, culminating in a spectacular animated light show on the South Façade of the house.

If you visit between 7th November and 13th December, your ticket will also include access to the Christmas market.
