After a 10 day installation, 18,000 pea lights and countless decorations later we are ready to open the doors for Christmas at Waddesdon tomorrow.

This year Waddesdon is embracing its French heritage and the theme of the decorations in the house is decidedly Parisienne! Our creative team have captured the atmosphere of Christmas Eve in some of the glorious locations along the River Seine. With fleurs-de-lys, lavender and garlic, an Arc de Triomphe and Obelisk in the many rooms of this French Château, Waddesdon will be stunning in all its French glory.

The celebration of Christmas extends beyond the House into the Gardens where twinkling lights guide you on the willow reindeer trail though the woodland playground to the Enchanted Forest in the Coach House at the Stables. Our younger visitors will be able to write a letter to Father Christmas and have their photo taken on an open sleigh with SNOW!
