The countdown to Christmas at Chatsworth has begun! Come and see the house transformed into the story of Henry and the Lion's Christmas Feast.
Christmas in the house
Immerse yourself in a Christmas feast for the senses as the magic and wonder of a new festive story, Henry and the Lion's Christmas Feast, created in partnership with Joseph Coelho OBE, inspires the sights, smells, and sounds of this year’s Christmas at Chatsworth experience.
Young Henry Cavendish, budding experimental scientist and grandson of the 2nd Duke of Devonshire, is searching for the legendary Chatsworth lion, while the lion is on the hunt for a delicious Christmas feast!
Join them, and a mischievous menace of mice, as you travel through over 20 rooms in the house, each filled with festive decorations, twinkling lights, and surprises designed to ignite your imagination and encourage you to see things from a new perspective.
Christmas in the garden
