What else is there to do?

Christmas decorations will be up for display at Chatsworth House, as they have combined the past 20 Christmasses and reimagined them for this year’s celebration.

The Painted Hall welcomes visitors with a 24-foot fir tree adorned with 2,000 baubles, the Inner Court is snow-covered, the state dining room table is ablaze with bright floral arrangements, pulled crackers, and party poppers, and Jack's beanstalk rises from a staircase.

This year's show-stoppers feature a life-size music box in the church, as well as an outside winter scene reminiscent of Narnia, complete with flurries.

However, a couple of features including ‘wish trees’ will be absent to minimise the risk of Covid infection.
