Visitors can marvel at dazzling lights and festive displays, enjoy the sound of Christmas music, and indulge in delicious seasonal treats.

The brand-new Winter Garden offers an immersive festive experience filled with lights, family entertainment, games and much more. Guests will be greeted at the elf-guarded gates before stepping inside to discover a magical space where Father Christmas will also be roaming the garden, ready to hear children's Christmas wishes and even pose for an 'elfie! Visitors are free to come and go from the Winter Garden throughout their visit.

Inside the castle, steeped in centuries of history and adorned with seasonal décor, more festive surprises await. Whether exploring the grounds with a hot chocolate in hand or discovering hidden details within the castle itself, every moment promises to be filled with Christmas cheer.
